Deemed a "pharmaceutical virtuoso" by IAM Patent 1000, Katrina routinely appears before federal district and appellate courts throughout the country, as well as before tribunals such as the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), and the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB). She also serves as a Special Assistant Attorney General for the State of Georgia for intellectual property matters. Katrina's career began with training under one of the most well-known IP attorneys in the Atlanta area, Anthony Askew. Over the course of her career, she has litigated more than 60 patent infringement cases covering technologies including pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical devices, chemical, mechanical, computer and electronics, and consumer products. A registered patent attorney, Katrina has extensive experience securing, protecting and managing patents and trademarks in the United States and internationally.
