Before that, he spent over 20 years at the IP boutique, Fitzpatrick, Cella, Harper & Scinto (now Venable LLP), where he served on the management committee. Brian has been recognized by Intellectual Asset Management Patent 1000: The World's Leading Patent Professionals, and as a Life Sciences Lawyer by LMG Life Sciences.
