HOW WE CAN HELP
WHY VanceIP
Besides my obvious charm and wit, there’s my PhD. in Organic Chemistry, J.D., and 25 years of experience in patent preparation and prosecution. After working for a top law firm and global pharma company, I decided to start my own firm and focus on the needs of businesses without all the corporate red tape. Being on my own has allowed me to follow my passion for small businesses and startups but also provide a fresh perspective to companies with large patent portfolios.
Oddly enough, I’m happy to talk about more than just compounds and patent terms-- my hobbies
include disc golf, road cycling, and golf. I can’t wait to hear about your best hole-in-one story
when we celebrate your patent issuance!
