Taking the time to understand his client’s business to develop an intellectual property (IP) strategy that is tailored to their business goals.
Paying attention to the details to deliver the highest quality work product.

Jordan loves science and technology, and is passionate about using his skills and experience to give his clients a competitive advantage in the marketplace. To protect their investments in research and development (R&D), Jordan develops customized patent strategies, applies for and obtains patents, and builds patent portfolios that support his clients’ business goals.

Formerly an engineer in the aerospace industry, Jordan understands complex technologies and has patented innovations in numerous industries and technologies, including space tech, artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), robotics, medical devices, wireless communications (802.11, 5G), cybersecurity, virtual reality/augmented reality/mixed reality (VR/AR/MR), 3D printing, network storage, image processing, display systems, speech recognition, solar cells, and integrated circuit (IC) design and fabrication.

"Jordan is easily the best patent attorney I have ever worked with. He was able to grasp the complexities of the patent immediately. His speed and professional skill in writing complex patents is absolutely first class. In addition to being highly skilled, he is friendly, professional and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him to anybody seeking a patent on technically difficult inventions."

—Scott Stegman, Co-Founder & Vice-President, Mountain Aerospace Research Solutions

"Jordan is just about the best patent attorney you could hope to have managing your patent portfolio. He is a gifted writer and is someone who just gets technology, no matter how complex it may be. I am always impressed with the amount of attention he places on every aspect of the patent prep and prosecution process and the extraordinarily high emphasis on quality he imposes on any project he works on. Additionally, Jordan's great with dealing directly with companies, understanding their IP landscape and unique needs, and working proactively with the company to strategize on and build a robust patent portfolio. It is not often you have the sense of calm that comes with sending a project off to your outside counsel and knowing that it's going to come back perfect and you don't need to worry about it anymore."

—Kirupa Pushparaj, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary at Step

I can always rely on Jordan to provide me with a thoughtful, diligent, and quality work product."
