Michigan Law Firm - Warner Norcross + Judd LLP

Michigan

I am a professional learner: A student of history, science and all things technical. I’ve always been intensely interested in the minutiae of how things work and the implications to our societies and economies. Inventions impact people’s lives and I get to be at the center of it. As an intellectual property attorney, I am constantly learning about new scientific developments and technologies that will make our lives better. I have the distinct honor of prosecuting clients’ inventions with domestic and global patent offices every day – and the ability to influence these innovations into reality.

contentpilot/introduction

Jonathan Altes is an intellectual property attorney who specializes in prosecuting chemical and mechanical patent applications in the U.S., Europe, China and Japan. Much of his practice consists of drafting patent applications and their claims, specifications and figures, and conducting searches for patentability and freedom to operate analyses. He conducts trademark infringement investigations and is well-versed in trade dress protection and enforcement. Prior to attending law school, Jonathan served as one of Warner’s patent specialists.

core/paragraph

Jonathan has always been passionate about technology, science and the inventions that contribute to human progress. How these complex elements work together to improve people’s lives and solve real-world problems fuels his fervor to represent a diverse range of clients, from startups to multinational corporations, ensuring their intellectual property inventions are realized and protected.

He manages patent portfolios of all sizes with intentionality – closely and thoroughly analyzing unique attributes of each innovation to convey nonobvious traits to earn patent status. His ability to digest broad knowledge from various technical sectors and synthesize chemical, mechanical and scientific intelligence into meaningful application is rare. Jonathan is appreciated for his brilliance in this field, and he is a steady resource for colleagues and clients alike.

Jonathan received his law degree <em>summa cum laude</em> from Michigan State University College of Law where he was on the Dean’s List, was the 2022 Giles Rich Moot Court Midwest Regional Champion and won the Juris Prudence Awards in property, criminal law and antitrust. He holds a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering <em>summa cum laude</em> from the University of Michigan.
