Band 1

Lisa Haile's broad experience encompasses a variety of patent matters, nationally and internationally, including prosecution and portfolio management.

I work with Lisa on many different IP matters and she has done an excellent job getting very difficult claims accepted and patents issued internationally.

In an area that requires extreme attention to detail, Lisa has extreme creativity. She usually finds additional methods of patent to use and helped strengthen the portfolios of most companies we have.

I consider Lisa one of the top practitioners.
