Mr. Holman began his career in the Patent and Trademark Office as a
Patent Examiner. He spent four years examining chemical and metallurgical
methods, composition of matter and apparatuses. Mr. Holman then spent a
number of years in London, England as an American intellectual property
expert with one of the world's largest intellectual property firms.
During his time in London, he traveled extensively on the continent
and elsewhere acting as a liaison between international practice and U.S.
practice. Mr. Holman also attended Holborn College of Law in Intellectual

which later merged with the Firm. For more than 20 years, Mr. Holman
represented the National Institute of Health, and for many years has
managed the foreign filing of the NIH cases via the National Technical

thousands of patent and trademark applications and their equivalents in the
United States and throughout the world using all of the bilateral and multilateral
treaties, including the Patent Cooperation Treaty and the European Community

property career advising individual clients, government clients, and small-to-large
sized corporate clients, including start ups, in all phases of intellectual
property, including technology transfer, licensing, trademarks and conflict settlement.
