Resource details (for Advisor Resource Sponsors)
Jim is a member in McDonald Hopkins Intellectual Property Department and a strategic intellectual property advisor who helps clients develop and protect the value of their global intellectual property portfolios. His practice encompasses all components of intellectual property – domestic and foreign patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets – with a primary focus on businesses seeking market penetration and growth in the use of computer software, hardware, electronics, automation, and internet technologies.

A registered patent attorney, Jim is highly experienced in patent clearance and patentability counseling, as well as patent application preparation and prosecution before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. He regularly advises clients concerning corporate transactions, licenses, transfers, MSAs, SaaS and platform license agreements, development agreements, and related matters involving their intellectual property. Jim also has extensive experience enforcing and defending clients’ intellectual property rights in litigation involving numerous technologies before federal courts across the country. Many client matters also involve name, image, and likeness (NIL) (i.e., for collegiate athletes, civil rights leaders, politicians, Hollywood movie stars, models, comedians, and other noteworthy individuals).

Before he started his legal career, Jim obtained valuable industry experience as a software engineer and systems analyst. He gained valuable insight into the vital business considerations and needs of companies that develop and market high-tech software and hardware products. His practical and legal background enables him to serve as a reliable business and legal advisor who develops cost-effective and competition- focused strategies to achieve their objectives.

A substantial portion of Jim’s practice is devoted to protecting and developing comprehensive intellectual property portfolio strategies for communications, AI, data and system security and reliability, mobility, autonomous, navigation, controls, infotainment, data analysis, electrical, solar and other renewable energy, and other technologies in various industry sectors, including entertainment and streaming systems, automobiles and heavy equipment / vehicles, healthcare devices and systems, medication delivery systems, pharmacy prescription-servicing systems, direct and online order fulfillment systems, automated vending systems, consumer electronics and products, renewable energy, and other businesses and industries. He has also acted as a legal testifying expert in patent infringement actions.

Jim is an adjunct faculty member of the University of Illinois – Chicago School of Law, where he teaches substantive U.S. patent law.
