Further bolstering its intellectual property services on the West Coast, Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP has recently welcomed a new addition to their team – a patent prosecutor with a specialty in the life sciences industry. This marks an important development for the firm, indicative of its commitment to expanding and enhancing its service offerings in the region.
The new addition, previously an Intellectual Property leader at Snell & Wilmer, is part of Sheppard Mullin’s pronounced strategy to augment its West Coast capabilities. The move is especially strategic considering the proliferation and significance of intellectual property matters in the tech and life sciences sectors – both of which are particularly prominent on the West Coast.
As a patent prosecutor now part of Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP’s team, they will be responsible for protecting clients’ inventions in the life sciences field, ensuring they are granted patents that protect their intellectual property rights. Looking forward, continued expansions like this further reinforce Sheppard Mullin’s ability to provide comprehensive legal services, particularly in areas necessitating niche expertise.
