Mr. Pyle's experience encompasses most aspects of intellectual property, including prosecution, litigation, and transactional matters involving patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and unfair competition both domestically and abroad. Recent years have particularly emphasized domestic and foreign patent prosecution. The patent prosecution experience includes all facets of patent prosecution from the taking of invention disclosures and the filing applications to administrative appeals and post-administrative appeal procedures. International experience includes prosecution from filing through appeals and oral proceedings in many jurisdictions including, but not limited to, Europe and the Pacific Rim both directly and through the Patent Cooperation Treaty.
