Professional
Background
Lawrence Aaronson's practice emphasizes patent prosecution,
focusing on the
fields of electrical engineering and computer science. He has
substantial experience in patent procurement, portfolio management, and
client counseling.
Mr. Aaronson has
participated in all
phases of patent
prosecution, including conducting initial inventor disclosure meetings,
drafting applications, responding to office actions, and preparing
appeal briefs. He has advised clients, from startups to major
corporations, in all aspects of intellectual property. He
has prosecuted applications related to integrated circuits,
computer hardware and software, telecommunications (cellular, POTS and
AIN), cable television systems, computer networking and distributed applications and gaming
consoles. He has been lead counsel in
Interference proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
Board of Appeals and Interferences, and represented Toyoda Automatic
Loom Works in Linear Technology Corporation v. Impala Linear
Corporation, et al., Case No. C-98-1727 VRW (N.D. Cal.) and
ABB, Inc. in ABB

Mr. Aaronson's additional legal experience includes having
served as an in-house counsel for Motorola Inc.'s Broadband
Communications Sector, where he provided a wide range of IP legal
services to its Digital Network Systems and Internet Protocol Systems
strategic business units (2000-2001). The business units designed and
manufactured cable headend equipment, digital and analog set tops, and
equipment for Voice-over-IP communications. His patent-related work
encompassed licensing, patent prosecution management, evaluation of
invention disclosures for domestic and foreign filing, and patent
litigation support.
Prior to becoming a lawyer, he gained technical experience
serving as a systems engineer at General Electric Government Services,
where he analyzed and drafted requirements of space-based
communications systems. Mr. Aaronson wrote, tested and deployed
client-server based waveform analysis software to calculate
communication signal parameters for space-to-space and space-to-ground
transmissions. The software modeled such parameters as modulation type,
coding rate, interleaver type and atmospheric effects. His technical
background includes extensive programming experience in several
programming languages on platforms including UNIX-based client-server
networks, and IBM PC compatibles. Mr. Aaronson has extensive knowledge
of most
computer operating systems, computer networks and protocols, and
telecommunications and broadband communication networks.
