BIOGRAPHY
Benjamin E. Nise focuses his practice on all aspects of patent prosecution. His practice also involves patent opinion work, due diligence studies, and patent litigation support including infringement analysis and invalidity studies.
Benjamin's technical background includes 15 years of engineering experience designing analog, RF, and mixed signal integrated circuits for such commercial applications as television tuners, cable television transmitters, hearing aids, and cell phones. He is also the named inventor on six patents.
Having also been a member of the initial design teams of three venture capital funded startup companies, Benjamin has a first-hand understanding of the importance protecting intellectual property in fast paced, rapidly growing companies.
