Timothy C. "Tim" Saulsbury

Skilled and strategic guidance on a complex IP matter

I engaged Tim Saulsbury at Morrison Foerster to assist my startup with a sensitive intellectual property dispute. A competitor was challenging the proprietary aspects of our software platform, and the situation required immediate, nuanced legal attention. Despite his relatively short time at the firm, Tim demonstrated a command of the technical and legal intricacies that was immediately reassuring. He clearly leveraged the deep resources and mentorship available at MoFo, particularly in patent and IP litigation, which are areas where his profile shows recognition. His strategy was not just reactive; he helped us build a proactive defense that positioned our patents and trade secrets as formidable assets. The outcome was a favorable settlement that protected our core technology without the drain of a full trial. Throughout the process, Tim was accessible and explained complex patent law concepts in clear, business-oriented terms. My only slight critique, and the reason for a 4-star instead of 5-star rating, is that on a couple of occasions, the billing summaries took longer to arrive than expected, which made our internal accounting a bit tricky. That said, his substantive work was excellent. I would confidently recommend Tim to any company in Los Angeles navigating the treacherous waters of intellectual property protection and litigation.
