Patrick is one of the founders of FIG. 1 and envisions breaking the mold to deliver something new and different to patent law. Something more like a startup than a law firm. FIG. 1 is built on the notion that if the business is optimized from the ground up—from the people to the business processes to the physical building itself—to focus on patent preparation and prosecution, then FIG. 1 can be the best patent law firm in the world.
In addition, Patrick serves as Vice President of the Board of Advisors at Gonzaga University’s School of Law and was recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star in 2019, 2020, and 2021. He is also one of the founders of Farmgirlfit, a gym designed specifically for women.
Over the last few years, Patrick has become a hobbyist pitmaster and enjoys smoking meat on his Big Green Egg.
