Biography

Adam Rehm focuses his practice on all aspects of intellectual property law, with an emphasis on patent and trademark prosecution, freedom to operate studies, licensing and litigation. He is a registered US patent attorney with more than 20 years of experience advising executives and research and development teams regarding intellectual property portfolio management, valuation and development (including offensive and defensive patenting strategies), brand development strategies and the implementation of university and corporate intellectual property standards.

Adam's representation of the world's largest manufacturers of electronic components and software has afforded him significant electrical, mechanical and software experience. He has also provided strategic guidance to many renowned US surgeons who are prolific inventors of orthopedic implants, devices and equipment. 

Adam began his career as a design engineer for a plastics engineering company and served as a patent examiner at the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), where he learned practical procedures necessary for successful patent prosecution while examining patent applications directed to mechanical devices having electrical components such as light-emitting diodes, organic light-emitting diodes, light guides, projectors and night vision imaging systems.

Adam was appointed to the board of the USPTO Federal Credit Union, was a mentor in the Global Intellectual Property Academy to foreign dignitaries and provided intellectual property special counsel to the US Department of Justice (DOJ) in one of the largest trademark counterfeiting cases to date. At the DOJ, Adam assisted US attorneys in the successful criminal prosecution of a major counterfeiting ring that distributed millions of dollars worth of counterfeit handbags throughout Washington, DC and along the East Coast.
