Patent Attorney (1982 - 1990)

Engineer  (1976 - 1982)

I began as an entry-level engineer in Nuclear Safety and Licensing and progressed through positions of increasing responsibility in Marketing and Project Management.  In Project Management, I had responsibility for administering contracts for the supply of nuclear fuel fabrication services for commercial nuclear power plants in Sweden, Belgium, Italy and Switzerland.  After graduating from law school, passing the bar and Patent Office examinations, I joined the Patent Department and handled intellectual property matters of all types for a variety of technologies.  Technical fields included power systems generally (commercial nuclear power plants, fuel cells, photovoltaic systems, magneto-hydrodynamics), as well as naval nuclear propulsion systems and nuclear weapon feed materials.
