Sterlington Welcomes Leading Patents Team Led by Former Holland & Hart Partners Scott Karren and Tom Anderson

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sterlington is pleased to announce the arrival of a nine-member patents team led by former Holland & Hart partners J. Scott Karren and Thomas Anderson. The team includes four counsel, two patent agents and an IP specialist. Its arrival significantly expands Sterlington’s ability to advise technology companies on global patent portfolio strategy, preparation and prosecution, with particular depth in wireless communications, standards-related technologies, semiconductors, and AI and machine learning.

Karren is a Chambers-ranked patent attorney who advises technology companies on the development and management of global patent portfolios. His practice focuses on wireless communications and technologies implemented in cellular standards. He is recognized by Chambers USA, IAM Patent 1000 and Managing Intellectual Property’s IP Stars. He is a contributing author to Patents and Standards: Practice, Policy, and Enforcement, the AIPLA and Bloomberg Law treatise.

Anderson manages international patent portfolios for global corporations, including some of the world’s largest patent holders, as well as venture-backed start-ups. He prepares and prosecutes patent applications in the electronic, computer and biomedical arts. He also draws on his experience before the PTAB and federal district courts to help clients avoid the pitfalls that lead to costly disputes.

The team also includes four counsel: David Victor, who has prepared and prosecuted more than 1,700 issued utility patents in computer hardware and software, including AI and machine learning; Ken Winterton, who spent more than 20 years as a patent attorney at Holland & Hart and was previously a process engineer at Texas Instruments and Intel; Joe Maxey, who focuses on wireless communications and software; and James Webster, Jr., who drafts and prosecutes applications for large technology companies in wireless communications, mobile devices and machine learning.

Patent agents Joshua Laney and Landon Ward and IP specialist Blair Christensen, all formerly of Holland & Hart, complete the team.

“Sterlington is the right platform for the kind of sophisticated, technology-driven patent work our clients rely on us for,” said Karren. “Tom and I have built this group around deep technical expertise and close collaboration. Bringing the team together, with more colleagues expected to join soon, means our clients get continuity and depth of service from day one.”

“We’re delighted to welcome Scott, Tom and the team to Sterlington,” said Christopher Harrison, managing partner of Sterlington. “Their experience and technical depth will be a tremendous asset to our clients, and we’re excited to have them on board.”
