Mark G. Hanley, JD, MBA, BSEE

I believe our clients benefit from the real-world engineering experience that our practitioners bring to the firm. This experience enables us to interface efficiently with inventors and provides a practical and business-minded foundation for all of our work.

I represent numerous large corporate clients involved in a diverse range of electrical, software, and mechanical technologies, and I have extensive experience in all aspects of patent prosecution and counseling including freedom-to-operate analyses, non-infringement and invalidity opinions, and reexaminations.

Prior to practicing law, I was a design engineer specializing in switching power supplies; analog circuitry; and a variety of pressure, temperature, and position transducers. I am also an inventor on several patents relating to piezoelectric biomorphs.

In 2023, ’24 and ’25, I was Recommended for Patent Prosecution by the IAM Patent 1000 IAM 1000 and was designated a Patent Star in the United States (national) and Illinois from Managing IP’s IP Stars, an annual guide to the top intellectual property attorneys in Illinois and nationwide.
