About
In 1996, I became one of the founding shareholders at Venable, Campillo, Logan & Meaney (now Venjuris Law). In October 2014, I left to start my current practice. I have prosecuted hundreds of patent, trademark, and copyright matters before the USPTO. I have represented over a hundred intellectual property matters in U.S. courts. I was lead counsel for MDY Industries LLC before the… read more Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals where I obtained a favorable reversal in a landmark copyright decision involving the DMCA against Blizzard Entertainment [629 F.3d 938 (2010)].
Before attending law school, I worked as a design and applications engineer for Motorola, Digital Equipment Corporation, and US West Communications in Phoenix, Arizona.

He is a “patently” great patent attorney, and I would highly recommend him as an intellectual Property legal advisor."

I simply handed over the effort and Mr. Venable provided the resolution. No worry, no delays, no problems."
