Yoon & Shin Attorneys

---

I am an intellectual property attorney with over 20 years of experience in primarily patent and trademark practice. I have handled matters involving all aspects of patent law—prosecution, noninfringement and invalidity opinions, freedom to operate analysis, competitive landscapes, licensing, and litigation—and have worked in the medical device and computer industries.

Previously, I worked at Medtronic Diabetes as Senior Patent Counsel, handling a myriad of IP matters while interacting with a diverse group of inventors and senior management, highlighted by co-managing a patent litigation against a competitor that successfully resulted in a settlement and royalty. In addition, I worked at Gateway Computers as Staff Counsel, primarily handling patent prosecution and patentability matters involving computer hardware and software. I started my career as an associate with Pillsbury, Madison & Sutro LLP, handling patent matters related to computer hardware and software, printers, and mechanical devices. Further, I resolved trademark matters involving domain name disputes as well as drafted software licenses and other technology agreements.

Although I resigned from full-time work to stay at home with my family, I maintained my patent practice working periodically as an independent contractor for various medical device companies. I continued with prosecution and litigation matters, including serving as an expert on diabetes and infusion pump technology as well as conducting a pre-litigation infringement and validity analysis of a portfolio of medical device patents. With Yoon & Shin LLP, I am now returning to full-time legal practice after taking time away for my family.

Prior to law school, I worked at Andersen Consulting as a Staff Consultant, programming modules of a financial system. I have a J.D. from Loyola Law School, Los Angeles and a B.S. in Computer Science from UCLA. I am a member of the California Bar and admitted to practice before the U.S. Patent Office.
