As a legal assistant at HFZ I assist our patent attorney team in a variety of ways during the patent prosecution process. My primary responsibility is in the facilitation of international filings and the payment of patent annuities. International filings require proper document preparation, correspondence with foreign counsels and communications with clients. For my work with patent annuities, I monitor annuity deadlines and coordinate with clients and foreign counsels to maintain ongoing patent protection for our clients’ intellectual property.
My background in the liberal arts fostered a strong attention to detail and the skills necessary to adapt to, understand and thrive in diverse situations, which I apply daily in my work at HFZ.
