About Me
© COPYRIGHT MICHAEL W. CALDWELL, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 2013
I have been employed in the technology industry for over thirty years. Ten years ago
I left as CEO of a small company to begin the practice of patent law. It has been my full
time occupation ever since. I work alone from my own office. I truly enjoy being involved
with clients’ business, finding that the more I know about their business and development
plans the better I can advise them regarding protecting their intellectual property. For
some clients I also provide the function of an in-house Director of IP, including annual
budgets and monthly forecasts of expenses. In these cases I usually chair the company’s
patent committee. I have developed an objective methodology for selecting which
inventions to protect and in what order as budget is available. I always offer to conduct an
in-house half day tutorial on the basics of patent law and IP management as a courtesy, in
that I have found I can better serve a knowledgeable client. I would welcome the
opportunity to conduct the tutorial for your organization with no obligation.
