A Bigger Picture:

Aaron is one of the attorneys who helped found LL&A.  His broad practice focuses on patent and trademark prosecution, intellectual property litigation, and advising clients on obtaining, maintaining, and enforcing all types of intellectual property rights. He has represented a diverse array of clients, including manufacturers of medical devices, computer hardware, computer software, sporting goods, industrial machinery, water filtration equipment, floor coverings, lighting, and climate control equipment.  He has prosecuted patents relating to technologies ranging from medical devices to snowboarding equipment to computer software.

Aaron's extensive patent litigation experience includes a similarly wide range of subject matters, including integrated circuit bus protocols, fiberglass doors, LED lighting, medical devices, and computer software.  He has been involved in patent litigation proceedings before federal district courts across the country, as well as in the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and in the International Trade Commission.  Aaron understands the demands placed on patent litigants and works hard to help clients understand the complex process and to litigate in an aggressive, but cost effective, manner.
 
Aaron’s practice also includes assisting companies in protecting their trademark rights, including matters involving claims of trademark infringement, dilution, and cybersquatting.  His practice has covered all facets of trademark litigation, including enforcement, active litigation, and settlement, in cases in federal court and before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

A substantial part of Aaron’s practice is devoted to helping companies avoid potential infringement issues, both by working closely with clients during the development process to arrive at non-infringing products and, in some cases, by providing detailed analyses in the form of written clearance opinions.
 
Aaron was named a "Massachusetts Super Lawyers Rising Star" in the areas of intellectual property and intellectual property litigation in both the May 2006 and May 2005 issues of Boston Magazine.  Prior to joining LL&A, he worked as an associate at Wolf, Greenfield & Sacks, P.C. and at Hale & Dorr.  He also previously worked at General Electric Aircraft Engines.

Aaron received his J.D., cum laude, from the Boston University School of Law, where he served as an editor for the Boston University Law Review.  He also holds a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Boston University’s College of Engineering.
 
Aaron is admitted to practice before the state and federal courts in Massachusetts and the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and he is registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. He is a member of the Boston Bar Association, the Massachusetts Bar Association, the American Intellectual Property Law Association, the Intellectual Property Owners Association, and the Boston Patent Law Association.

Aaron's outside interests include squash, sea kayaking, renovating his eighteenth century farm house, and furniture making.
