About John
John's practice involves all aspects of intellectual property law, with special emphasis on the litigation of intellectual property disputes. John also has extensive experience helping his clients obtain and secure patent rights, most notably in the areas of computer software and hardware, telecommunications, and related technologies. An innate desire to learn combined with engineering work experience enable him to assist his clients with technologies ranging from the ordinary to the complex.
John also counsels clients on IP portfolio strategy and management, performs due diligence investigations, patent invalidity and non-infringement research, and other tasks related to intellectual property. He graduated with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Alabama in Huntsville (1991) and received his J.D., magna cum laude, from the Cumberland School of Law (1996), where he was a member of the Cumberland Law Review. The Copyright Infringement Advisor is a blog that John maintains to keep the public aware of goings on in the area of copyright infringement litigation.
For those clients that Whitaker Law Group accepts, we typically forgo hourly compensation in exchange for a percentage of the amount we recover for you. Our billing structure goes a long way toward leveling the playing field between small companies with few resources and the behemoths with countless attorneys on staff and sufficient resources to wage an expensive legal battle for years.
