About Me:

Ken Jenkins is a patent attorney whose practice focuses on patent counseling and patent litigation, primarily in the chemical and biosciences industries. He routinely counsels biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies of all sizes in developing their patent claiming and filing strategies, procuring patents on cornerstone technologies, and strategically managing patent portfolios to maximize investments. Ken also counsels lenders and investors in assessing the value of patent assets through due diligence reviews, including validity analyses, freedom to operate analyses, and in-licensed technology investigations. In addition to patent procurement counseling, he represents pharmaceutical companies in high-stakes patent litigations involving challenges under the Hatch-Waxman Act.

Ken is a member of the Board of Directors for the San Diego Intellectual Property Law Association, one of the largest largest intellectual property bar organizations in the country. He is also a member of the BIOCOM Intellectual Property Committee as well as the CONNECT Frontiers in Science & Technology Committee.
