As a patent attorney, Tina Tian focuses on patent mining, patent searches, freedom-to-operate (FTO) searches, drafting of patent applications, responses to office actions, and reexamination proceedings. She is able to resolve issues arising during patent prosecution creatively and to secure the broadest possible scope of patent protection for her clients. She specializes in drafting patent applications in the fields of biomedicine, chemical engineering, and materials. Having worked in-house, in private practice and in R&D — including oncology research — she moves easily between technology, law and commercial objectives, and can handle the full patent cycle on her own, from early-stage patent mining and portfolio layout and FTO screening through to filing and responses to office actions.
