Andrew S. McConnell, Partner
Andy is widely known and respected by his peers, colleagues, clients and referral sources, and is generally considered an all around intellectual property go-to person. Throughout his decades of IP experience, Andy has been exposed to and immersed himself in patent, trademark, trade secret and copyright issues of all shapes and sizes, always seeking to secure the broadest possible protection for his clients while minimizing risk and optimizing value. The depth and breadth of Andy’s experience enables him to effectively and efficiently serve his clients. At work, Andy enjoys passing along the benefit of his experience to his younger colleagues.
Andy focuses on patent application preparation and prosecution, trademark counseling and registration, trade secrets and copyrights, as well as overall IP counseling, licensing and pre-litigation dispute resolution. His sweet spot is actively listening to his clients and understanding their issues, finding creative solutions and working hand-in-hand with clients in a smart, cost-effective manner to address any IP issue that may come their way. He takes pride in building lasting relationships with his clients, and values his role as a collaborative member of a client’s business team.
