About

The primary author of Presumptionofvalidity is Joseph Iskra, a Washington, D.C. trained patent attorney who founded IskraIP PLLC in Ann Arbor, MI.

Through this blog, I hope to provide other patent practitioners (and anyone else who may be interested) with value-added information regarding patent preparation and prosecution which I gained through my legal training and patent practice.  Additionally, I am interested in connecting with other individuals and organizations, including foreign and domestic law firms, who are interested in forming long-term relationships.

At heart, I am a “technology-nerd.”  My love of technology propelled me toward my undergraduate degree in electrical engineering, and further, toward my law degree.  As a patent practitioner, I am able to apply my technological background on a daily basis to help inventors obtain legal protection for their new and cutting edge technologies.

As a registered Patent Attorney,  I am authorized to represent clients all over the United States before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) regarding patent application drafting/prosecution services.

Cheers,
