Alexis draws on a background in materials science and engineering to guide clients through the development and protection of innovative technologies. Her work focuses on preparing and prosecuting patent applications across a broad mix of technical fields, including artificial intelligence, multiphysics simulation tools, electrified transportation, electromechanical systems, machine learning, advanced materials, and computer vision.
She works closely with a range of companies, from early‑stage ventures to established technology developers, to identify meaningful opportunities for patent protection and to build portfolios that support long‑term business goals. Clients value her ability to translate complex engineering concepts into clear and strategic patent filings, along with her practical approach to navigating the patent office.
Before entering private practice, Alexis gained experience in intellectual property strategy by supporting technology companies through their early growth phases. She managed patent portfolios for numerous startups each year, working with teams from pre‑seed through Series D funding and acquisition. In this role, she evaluated invention disclosures, collaborated with researchers on patentability assessments, and drafted provisional and nonprovisional patent applications across diverse technical areas. She also partnered with founders and engineering teams during strategy sessions to develop IP strategies that protected core products, aligned with customer needs, and supported commercial growth.
Her technical background and ongoing involvement with research communities continue to inform her legal work. Alexis often assists clients developing software‑driven systems, integrated electromechanical technologies, computational modeling tools, advanced material applications, automotive and mobility innovations, and solutions that use machine learning or data‑driven functionality.
Whether working with a startup protecting its first invention or supporting a company managing an expanding portfolio, Alexis focuses on building strong relationships and providing clear, practical guidance at every stage of the patent process.
