About Mr. Thomas J. Colson
Thomas J. Colson is a registered patent attorney with deep experience in both prosecution and litigation. Unlike most other attorneys throughout the world though, Mr. Colson has years of hands-on experience in business. Since the legal function exists solely to support the business goals of clients, such business experience is of critical importance. And, since intellectual property has become the business weapon of choice, such combination experience is fast becoming a requirement for all visionary companies. Simply put, without an intimate appreciation of the business challenges and goals of clients, an attorney cannot adequately support its clients’ needs within the realities of global competition.
Through his work with customers across the United States, Mr. Colson has become a recognized expert in the creation and implementation of intellectual property strategies. He has been a primary speaker at events sponsored by the American Intellectual Property Lawyers Association, ARMA, American Bar Association, Licensing Executive Society, Corporate Intellectual Property Institute, SIPO (Chinese Patent Office), Intellectual Property Society of San Jose, North Carolina Bar Association, LinuxWorld, American Chemical Engineers Association, Association of Food Scientists, Database 2002 of Tokyo, Upstate Alliance For Innovation, Women in Computers, Marcus Evans, and others.
Moreover, Mr. Colson’s opinions on intellectual property issues have been solicited by members of the United States Congress, and he has been quoted in articles appearing in the New York Times, London Financial Times, California Lawyer, many other magazines and journals, and a book entitled, “Edison in the Boardroom.” As well, Mr. Colson has written many articles related to intellectual property that have been published in journals and magazines such as Directors & Boards, Patent World, Ivy Business Journal, Chemical Innovation, CIO, BioTech, IndustryWeek, IAM Magazine, Patent Strategy & Management, Successful Meetings, Machine Design, Law.com, MIP, and Future and the Inventor.
