Inovue has the experience to handle complex matters, but its structure means that there are less administrative barriers between clients and their actual providers of legal services.

  • LinkedIn

Beginning my career in the US Patent & Trademark Office was the best apprenticeship I could have hoped for. Since then, I have worked both in-house and as outside counsel with hundreds of clients to formulate IP strategies and protect businesses.

Tom Ring's Portrait

  • LinkedIn

I have worked with Patents & Trademarks for more than 25 years. Whatever you need in this area I have likely seen it before and produced positive results. My proudest moments include winning an IP case resulting in one of the largest jury verdict punitive damage awards in the U.S. at that time and subsequently starting and building a patent legal group in one of the more prestigious general law firm practices in the Chicago market.

Consistently throughout my career, I have relied on Doug as a trusted and thoughtful advisor. Doug, now at Inovue, has always efficiently and effectively addressed a multitude of IP needs. This includes patent development and acquisition through auditing existing IP portfolios, identifying gaps in corporate IP, and executing strategies to meaningfully increase patent assets in those areas.  Doug has also been instrumental in drafting and negotiating strategic intellectual property-related agreements. Above all else, Doug is a pleasure to work with on matters and skilled at bringing actionable solutions to the forefront.
