Emmanuel Coffy

I am a seasoned Patent Attorney with a Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, focusing on semiconductors, and a robust engineering background. My professional journey includes significant experience in assisting inventors, startups, and established companies with protecting, enforcing, and monetizing their intellectual property. My dual expertise in technical and legal fields positions me to offer strategic, results-oriented intellectual property counsel that enhances my clients' competitive edge. My prior roles include working as a U.S. Patent Examiner and a Digital Design Engineer, which have equipped me with a deep understanding of the intricacies of patent law. My legal practice encompasses various activities, including drafting and prosecuting patent applications, re-examination, IP litigation, patent infringement, drafting patentability opinion letters, demand letters, and conducting due diligence. I also offer guidance on intellectual property licensing, trademarks, trade secrets, and copyrights and address unfair competition and deceptive advertising issues. I am admitted in the State of New Jersey, the United States District Court of New Jersey, and the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO). In terms of my academic credentials, I obtained a J.D. from Seton Hall University School of Law in Newark, New Jersey, in 2003. I was also a Ph.D. candidate in Technology Management at Stevens Institute of Technology. I earned an MSEE from Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, FL, in 1993, and a BSEE from Bridgeport Engineering Institute in Bridgeport, CT, in 1986. I have contributed to various publications and delivered presentations on IP. I co-authored “The need for signal claims” in IDEA: The Intellectual Property Law Review. Additionally, I have written several books, including "The Value of Your Idea$", “Do You Want To Be A Digital Entrepreneur," and "The App Developers’ Guide To Protecting Your Intellectual Property.”
