Practice
Dr. Pagano handles all manner of intellectual property related issues,
including patent prosecution, non-infringement and invalidity opinions, and
technology-transfer and license agreements. His practice has focused on
pharmaceuticals, medicinal chemistry, target-driven drug discovery, formulation
development, fine and specialty chemicals, health care products, cosmetics,
"nutraceuticals" (dietary and nutritional supplements), and many other life
science disciplines.
After earning his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry in 1994, from The Pennsylvania
State University, Dr. Pagano completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Rutgers,
New Jersey. During his university training, he performed research and authored
scientific papers published in The Journal of Organic Chemistry and The Journal
of the American Chemical Society. Then, before entering law school, he worked
as a research scientist in industry, where he was named as an inventor on three
issued U.S. Patents.
In 1999, after passing the Patent Bar Exam, Dr. Pagano began practicing before
the United States Patent and Trademark Office with the law firm of Pennie &
Edmonds LLP (Now Jones Day) in New York City. At Pennie, he trained under top
intellectual property lawyers Laura Coruzzi (IP Law & Business Patent Hall of
Fame) and Anthony Insogna. After three years, he left Pennie to join the Tech
