Scott E. Kamholz, M.D., Ph.D.
Associate
Registered Patent Attorney
Boston
Dr. Scott Kamholz obtains patent protection for clients in all fields, with an emphasis on applications in medical devices, biotechnology, mechanical engineering, and biomedical engineering. He uses his technical training in engineering, medicine and biomedical research to help clients assess the patentability of inventions and to evaluate infringement and product clearance concerns. He represents clients in patent licensing transactions and provides patent due diligence guidance in mergers and acquisitions. In addition, he manages and coordinates foreign patent portfolios.
Scott consults in patent litigation and has extensive experience representing both patent owners and third party requesters in patent reexamination proceedings. He hosts www.toolpat.com, which provides full-text searching of U.S. patent and published application databases, full-text searching of the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP), and several other tools.
As the holder of both M.D. and Ph.D. degrees, Scott's scientific expertise encompasses developmental biology, transgenic mouse creation and analysis, hematopoietic stem cell biology, medical informatics, signal processing, and computational modeling. During graduate school and medical school he studied developmental biology, focusing on mechanisms by which hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells migrate during embryonic development. As part of his research work he created and analyzed several lines of transgenic mice to study the function of Steel Factor as a guidance signal for migrating stem cells. Scott also acquired expertise in a wide variety of biotechnology techniques, including cloning, genetic engineering, nucleic acid hybridization, immunoblotting, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and FACS analysis.
