Keith’s practice includes advising companies and investors on intellectual property matters, specializing in patent prosecution within the chemistry, life sciences, and materials science sectors. Specifically, this involves collaborating with the executive and R&D teams of companies to design and implement business-focused IP strategies to build and manage robust patent portfolios. Keith has enjoyed working with companies at various stages of their lifecycle, from early-stage to post-approval. He has a wealth of experience in drafting and prosecuting patents in a wide range of technical fields, including small molecule drug design, formulation, solid form chemistry, methods of treatment, drug delivery, liposomal/nanoparticle technologies, bio-materials, and polymeric materials.
Keith brings extensive experience in competitive landscape evaluation, freedom-to-operate analysis, and IP due diligence for complex transactions, including financings, IPOs, and mergers and acquisitions.
Prior to working in intellectual property law, Keith was Assistant Professor at Purdue University in the Department of Industrial and Physical Pharmacy. He led a research group focused on pharmaceutical development and manufacturing. He is an expert in formulation and solid form chemistry and has extensive expertise in drug delivery, polymer chemistry, chemical engineering, pharmaceutical manufacturing, nanotechnology, and materials science.
Keith has also done postdoctoral research at the MIT-Novartis Center for Continuous Manufacturing in Cambridge, Mass. and the Department of Chemical Engineering, UMIST in Manchester, UK.
Keith has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals, including J. Pharm. Sci., Organic Process Research & Development, Carbohydrate Polymers, and CrystEngComm.
