Stephanie's practice focuses on all phases of highly sophisticated patent prosecution and analysis for her pharmaceutical and material science clients. Large patent portfolios require adroit management, and Stephanie demonstrates her proficiency by directing the prosecution of complex portfolios both in the U.S. and internationally.
