Smart Technical and Business Solutions from an Experienced Northern California and Southern Oregon Patent and Trademark Attorney

Patent and trademark attorneys prepare, file and pursue patent and trademark applications in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and patent lawyers are required to have a technical and science education.

I received that education with a Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri; and a Bachelor of Arts in mathematics from Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. I received my law degree from George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

I am a registered patent attorney and licensed to practice law in both California and Oregon and am a member of the Federal Bar Association and the Jackson County Bar Association. I have over twenty years of legal experience, including being the vice president and general counsel of two publicly traded technology companies as well as being lead counsel for the Consumer Electronics and Optical Products business groups of the world’s largest semiconductor company, Intel Corporation. I am also a former Vice President and a board member of the Southern Oregon Telecommunications and Technology Council.

At the Law Office of Gerald D. Haynes, you will find a northern California and southern Oregon patent and trademark attorney dedicated to finding technical solutions that help my clients succeed. When I meet with clients, whether it is in the casual environment of my office, in a coffee shop, or over the phone, I take the time to listen carefully to the individual business goals of each client, then work to address the underlying legal issues.

I know that intellectual property law can be confusing to many people, which is why I educate my clients about the processes involved in defining, acquiring, and asserting their intellectual property rights, including their patents, trademarks, and copyrights, and trade secrets for new products, computer programs, inventions, books, music, and other assets of human creativity.

I also help inventors and businesses with a wide variety of legal needs such as licensing agreements, non-compete agreements, confidentiality agreements, business organization, and commercial transactions.

Contact me and let me help you with your technical and business needs. Your initial phone consultation is free. My legal fees are competitive, and payment plans are available.
