Brandon R. Theiss

Brandon is a technology-first patent attorney with extensive experience in the complete patent lifecycle, from prosecution before the US Patent and Trademark Office through monetization and post grant challenges. As an inventor himself, Brandon appreciates the unique challenges associated with commercializing an idea and the value of obtaining the maximum patent prosecution. Drawing from his 10 years of industrial experience developing industrial control and automation systems, Brandon focuses primarily on medical devices, cloud computing and big data analytics.

Previous Work and Industry Experience

Prior to rejoining Volpe Koenig, Brandon was the director of patent licensing at Intellectual Ventures (IV). At IV he created and implemented an Open-Source Software licensing program that generated over $120M in new licensing revenue from patents that had never been utilized. Prior to becoming a patent attorney Brandon received the Early Career Achievement Award from the Institute of Industrial Engineers for his work developing a novel software system to solve complex business and manufacturing problems.

Pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufactures, shipping companies and heavy manufactures around the globe are still using systems Brandon has designed.
