Paul Ulrich Bio

Paul assists clients in strategically protecting and enforcing their intellectual property (IP). He is skilled in the procurement and management of large, international patent and trademark portfolios for a variety of industries such as packaging, consumer products, manufacturing, medical device, power generation, lighting, lawn and garden, and hydroponics. Clients, both small and Fortune 100, repeatedly turn to Paul to enforce and defend their patent rights and products through post-grant proceedings before the USPTO, patent litigation, Amazon patent enforcement proceedings, settlement negotiations, and patent opinions; including a noteworthy case where he negotiated a very client-friendly settlement for a global entertainment company in a matter relating to an amusement park ride. As an integral part of his practice, Paul truly enjoys getting to know his clients’ industries, businesses, people, and products. He has extensive experience with consumer products and packaging technologies, manufacturing and processing equipment, medical devices, forestry equipment, wear parts for forestry and excavating equipment, robotics, power generation equipment, jet engine technology, water filtration, metal coating, coated cables, fiber optic cable connectors and systems, sensors, and plastic injection molding equipment. Due to this vast experience, Paul was chosen to be a faculty member for the Patent Resources Group, where he taught Crafting & Drafting: Winning Patents to hundreds of patent attorneys and agents nationwide. All of this enables him to excel at providing trusted counsel to and successful outcomes for clients.
