SAN
DIEGO, July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Global
law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP grew its Life Sciences &
Medical Technology Practice with the additions of Shareholder
Robert D. Ward and Of Counsel
Albert K. Heng. They will once again
partner with Christopher C. Bolten,
who also recently joined the firm's San
Diego office from Eversheds Sutherland.
Ward counsels technology companies and venture capital firms on
intellectual property-related matters, with a focus on companies in
the medical device and digital health industries. He develops
global patent portfolios for both established and emerging
companies, including many that utilize artificial intelligence (AI)
and machine learning. Ward's engineering and intellectual property
(IP) background informs his transactional practice advising tech
companies on, for example, IP licensing, development, consulting,
and manufacturing agreements as well as acquisitions and
spinouts.
"When clients look to Greenberg Traurig to guide them from
discovery through commercialization and product marketing, our
Patent & Innovation Strategies Practice is an integral stop on
the path to their success," firm Senior Vice President G. Michelle Ferreira said. "We can provide our
technology clients access to varied skills and experiences with our
vast global platform, supplying a one-stop shop for many of their
legal needs."
Heng provides strategic advice and management for clients'
global IP portfolios, preparing patent applications and conducting
invalidity, patentability, freedom-to-operate, and
scope-of-coverage analyses for complex due diligences. He handles
matters for individual inventors and companies of all sizes
including startups, seed funds and incubators, and Fortune 500
companies that are all predominantly in the MedTech space.
"Robert and Albert's MedTech practices complement our firm's
current pharmaceutical and biotechnology practice so well. With
this expansion of our multidisciplinary life science patent
prosecution practice on the West Coast, our clients will be able to
rely on a well-credentialed slate of legal practitioners for advice
on their varied IP matters," Shareholder David A. Gay, Ph.D.
said.
Ward and Heng are actively involved in pro bono work with a
focus on preparing and filing asylum applications. Ward received
his J.D. from Notre Dame Law School and holds an M.S. in mechanical
engineering from Loyola Marymount
University and a B.S. in the same subject from the
University of Southern California. Heng
received his J.D., with honors, from Boston
University School of Law and a B.S. in aerospace engineering
from the University of California at Los
Angeles.
