Womble Bond Dickinson announced on July 18 that Jason Vick joined the firm’s Denver office as a partner in the patent prosecution and litigation practice. A registered patent attorney, Vick focuses his practice on domestic and foreign patent portfolio counseling for clients ranging from individual inventors and growing startups to Fortune 50 companies.
According to the announcement, Vick has over three decades of experience representing technology clients, particularly those in the electrical, computer science, telecommunications, e-business, software, electro-mechanical, semiconductor, medical diagnostic equipment, medical device, security systems, encryption, artificial intelligence, ag-tech and automotive industries. He has a background as an electrical engineer, inventor and former patent examiner with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and advises clients in all aspects of IP law, including foreign patent prosecution, post-grant proceedings, IPRs, CBMs and preparation of patent validity and freedom-to-operate opinions.
“Jason is a wonderful addition to our growing Denver office,” said Denver Office Managing Partner Scot Anderson in a news release. “His practice is a great fit with Womble’s strong IP practice, and his well-deserved reputation in Denver as a leading practitioner in this area bolsters our development of a full-service Denver office. Also, his extensive experience filing patent applications internationally and network of foreign associates will benefit our clients and further strengthen our global platform.”
After earning a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and law from Keele University, Vick graduated from the University of Notre Dame Law School with an LL.M. in international law.
Since establishing the Denver office in September, Anderson and Ana Maria Gutiérrez have been joined by business litigation partner John Hawk, senior division counsel Wayne Chancellor and associates Michael Miller and Noah Zedek. Gutiérrez was appointed leader of the firm’s environmental practice earlier this year, according to the announcement.
