Career

A registered patent attorney and former senior patent examiner, Angel approaches prosecution with a personal, creative, and effective approach that is informed by extensive experience in the arts. Known for a competitively high allowance rate, she strongly advocates for in-person/WebEx interviewing, and data-driven analytics to determine the best options available. Clients across technology industries have benefitted from Angel's experience from within and outside the USPTO. She helps clients by creatively navigating current prosecution hurdles, developing and managing patent portfolios that limit future prosecution hurdles, and analyzing existing patent families to determine best strategies based on the value and strength of pending and acquired claim sets.
