More About Puya

Puya's clients need help protecting their intellectual property, which includes patents and trademarks. These clients range from startups to Fortune 100 companies. In most cases, clients approach Puya once they've developed a new invention. However, he has worked with clients during various stages of the patent process. Puya guides these clients through the process of obtaining a patent. This includes reviewing patentability searches, drafting the patent application, and prosecuting the patent application with the US Patent and Trademark Office.

Puya's work also includes assisting clients with patent re-examination and reissue, litigation support, infringement analysis, patent validity analysis, freedom to operate analysis, and trademark prosecution and oppositions.

Puya was a software quality assurance engineer at Symantec for nearly a decade. There, he developed new ad-blocking technology, which issued as US Patent No. 8,918,515. As an inventor that has sat on the other side of the table, Puya knows the patent process can be confusing. He also knows how exciting it is to be an inventor. Your invention is your baby, and you want it to be in good hands. Puya's experience helps him connect with engineers, inventors, and IP owners, and allows him to clarify the patent process for his clients.

Puya's prior technical experience gives him deeper insight into a wide range of technical inventions, such as wireless communications (CDMA, GSM/GPRS, WCDMA, LTE, "the Internet of Things," etc.), digital television signaling, artificial intelligence, robotics, microprocessors, software, computer networks, cellular devices, and home entertainment devices. In addition, through the course of his career, Puya has worked on mechanical devices, clothing, and home goods. As such, he can help patent a wide range of ideas.

With more than seven years of experience as an engineer, Puya provides his clients with a real-world understanding of their technology. He draws upon more than 10 years of experience as a patent attorney to get his clients' inventions allowed as patents, and a happy client is a client with an issued patent.

Puya enjoys the people and the culture at Seyfarth. In his own words, "We treat our clients with the care and attention of a boutique firm, backed by the resources of a large global firm."
