Expert guidance through a complex patent licensing dispute

I engaged Alan Montera at McAndrews, Held & Malloy to assist my small tech company with a high-stakes patent licensing negotiation that had broken down. While his official experience is listed as less than a year, his deep knowledge was immediately apparent. He clearly leveraged the foundational expertise that earned him recognition in Litigation - Patent and Patent Law by Best Lawyers. Alan meticulously dissected our existing agreement and the opposing party's claims, providing a strategy that was both legally sound and commercially pragmatic. His ability to translate complex intellectual property concepts into clear business risks was invaluable. We successfully reached a favorable, restructured agreement without needing to escalate to full litigation. The one area where I noticed a slight lag was in email response times during particularly busy periods, which I understand is common in demanding practices. That minor point aside, Alan’s command of patent law and his strategic approach to dispute resolution were exceptional. I would confidently recommend him to any Chicago-area business navigating the intricacies of IP law.
