Angus Chen, Ph.D. draws on his legal and scientific background to strategically navigate the intersection of law and science. Dr. Chen’s practice leverages his experience as lead in-house Patent Counsel for a specialty pharmaceutical company and brings a business perspective to his practice. Dr. Chen’s practice uniquely integrates the pharmaceutical and biologic patent and regulatory laws. Dr. Chen has extensive experience representing pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies in high stakes trials, PTAB proceedings and appeals, and advising clients with respect to patent and regulatory strategies, lifecycle management, and settlement agreements. IAM Patent 1000 wrote, as part of the firm’s pharmaceutical core, he is “a sure bet when only a win will do,” and that "Chen is highly valued for his technical dexterity and is also a 'thoughtful practitioner with a nice, understated but very persuasive presentation style.'"
