Fox Rothschild welcomes Alex Korona to the Princeton, NJ office as a partner in the Intellectual Property Department.
A registered patent attorney, Korona helps clients design and execute comprehensive intellectual property strategies, including the prosecution, management and enforcement of both utility and design patents, as well as trademarks.
His patent experience spans a wide array of technical areas, including orthopedic implants, medical devices, consumer products, hand tools, mechanical devices, Internet of Things (IoT) and other technology-enabled hardware, gaming devices, sports equipment and autonomous vehicle technologies. Korona regularly evaluates patent infringement and validity claims in connection with enforcement and litigation matters, and advises clients on patentability issues, including freedom to operate analyses and opinions.
On the transactional side, Korona handles patent and software licensing, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and other cloud computing agreements, intellectual property transfer agreements, master and professional service agreements, and intellectual property provisions of commercial contracts. Korona also conducts intellectual property due diligence for commercial transactions, including asset purchases, mergers and acquisitions, and debt financings.
“We are excited to welcome Alex to our team in Princeton as a partner in our national IP practice. Alex is a champion for life sciences, medical device, and consumer goods companies looking to secure and defend their patents and other intellectual property rights. His work will be instrumental for our clients,” said Vincent A. Vietti, Fox’s Princeton Office Managing Partner.
