John has a B.S. in Biology and M.S. in Human Genetics/Microbiology from the University of Cincinnati, and a J.D. with Distinction from the Thomas M. Cooley Law School. He has authored and co-authored several publications covering topics of genetics, chromosomal abnormalities, neonatal studies, and other related matters, and has been active in several professional associations. John also has a strong history of experience in the machine tool and automotive industries and services several clients in these areas of technology internationally.

Regarding his new start at Fitch Even, John commented that “My transition to Fitch Even has been seamless for both my clients and me. The firm has 150 years of experience managing domestic and foreign IP dockets. This, not surprisingly, has resulted in an efficient and well managed firm, with efficient and well managed systems to accommodate a full range of IP clients.”
