Palani P. Rathinasamy

Palani has deep experience evaluating patent portfolios as a precursor to litigation. He is called to find the cornerstone patents in a portfolio that will lead to maximized returns and then generate a strategy to enforce the portfolio. He leverages his technical background to reverse engineer complex technologies giving his clients more certainty earlier in an enforcement campaign.

Palani has a BS in electrical engineering from the University of Florida and a JD from the Georgetown University Law Center. He was a patent examiner at the United States Patent and Trademark Office and an engineer with Lockheed Martin. He is a member of Tau Beta Pi Honors Society and a graduate of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.

Before joining Folio, Palani co-founded and coded De Novo IP, a patent software startup that helped clients monetize patent portfolios. He practiced patent litigation for over 5 years at Tensegrity Law Group LLP and Alston & Bird LLP. Palani enjoys snowboarding.
