During the summer of 2010 I was a summer associate at the intellectual property law firm of Fitzpatrick, Cella, Harper & Scinto. Fitzpatrick is a New York-based IP boutique with additional offices in Washington, D.C. and Costa Mesa, CA. Its attorneys are experts in all areas of IP litigation and patent and trademark prosecution.
I was a summer associate in the California office. While there I got experience in all aspects of patent prosecution, including patent application preparation, office action responses, claim drafting and amendments, and examiner interviews.
