Patton Boggs LLP recently expanded its Intellectual Property and Business practices with the addition of Darren W. Collins as a partner in the firm’s Dallas office.
Darren Collins concentrates his practice in Intellectual property, advising both technology industry leaders and emerging growth technology companies on the development, protection, enforcement and commercialization of intellectual property. He serves as outside general patent counsel to entities ranging from a Fortune 500 company to smaller, fast-paced technology start-up companies.
“Darren is a considerable addition to both the firm’s Intellectual Property and Business practices,” said Michelle Suarez, managing partner of the firm’s Dallas office. “With an appreciation of the intersection and tradeoffs between business concerns and intellectual property issues, he offers equity investors and other finance sources practical advice on how intellectual property assets and related contractual rights may affect their risks in a transaction.”
