Bradford G. Addison, Ph.D.

Brad prepared and prosecuted patent applications in the chemical and biotech areas, including pharmaceuticals, molecular biology, instrumental analysis, tissue graft compositions, antiviral agents, immunoassay technology, polymer chemistry and combinatorial chemistry techniques. Brad worked diligently with clients to design and execute patent portfolios that consider and incorporate the longer term commercial objectives for patent monetization. 

Brad’s objective was to ultimately identify and write patents that are distinct and can be licensed and enforced. His in-depth experience in patent preparation and prosecution benefitted entrepreneurs and emerging companies, major corporations, industry leaders and thought innovators, as well as universities and research institutions. Clients and colleagues alike appreciated that Brad delivered pragmatic, comprehensive counsel and excellent work product. 

In addition to analyzing invention disclosures and preparing and filing patent applications, Brad advised on and coordinated global patent prosecution initiatives. He also represented clients in administrative appeals, petitions and protests, as well as advocated client positions in post grant reviews, re-examinations and reissues. 

A member of the American Intellectual Property Law Association, Brad was particularly effective in working productively with patent examiners. His strong technical background and practical experience over decades of practice allowed him to speak the language of clients and examiners alike, which often streamlined the patent process and aids in successful prosecution efforts.
