Christopher "Chris" Gegg

Expert patent guidance for a complex licensing agreement

I engaged Chris Gegg at Alston & Bird to assist my small tech startup in Charlotte with drafting and negotiating a critical patent licensing agreement. With nearly a decade focused specifically on patent law, his depth of knowledge was immediately apparent. He was able to quickly grasp the technical nuances of our software patent and translate them into robust, protective legal language. I particularly appreciated his background from Wake Forest Law; his analysis was both thorough and strategically sound. His recognition in the field of patent law is well-deserved, as he navigated complex prior art concerns with confidence. The final agreement he crafted provided excellent protection for our intellectual property while facilitating a fair partnership. The only minor critique would be that during the initial engagement phase, response times could occasionally stretch to a full business day, which, given our fast-paced environment, caused some brief anxiety. However, once actively working on the matter, his communication was consistent and clear. Overall, Chris provided exceptional value. He is a sharp, knowledgeable attorney I would confidently recommend to any North Carolina business dealing with patent strategy or protection.
