BIOGRAPHY
Mark E. Jacobs, Ph.D., contributes to the creation, protection, and
management of a client’s intellectual property rights. His background
includes more than 40 years of experience as an analog and systems engineer
and he is a named inventor on more than 50 patents that cover technologies
ranging from control systems to circuit topologies to system architectures.
Because of his status as an inventor, Mark works fluently with other
inventors to fully grasp and describe their inventions and to provide
guidance in the patent preparation and prosecution process. Mark’s
background allows him to capture the essence of the invention and to use
the most effective language to quantify its uniqueness in an orderly and
complete way. Because Mark has also worked with outside counsel as a
client, he understands the importance of bridging the gap between technical
and legal processes and procedures and he works diligently to achieve this
aim.
Mark’s extensive knowledge of the patent process is reflected in
past leadership positions he has held. He was a Technical Manager at Lucent
Technologies for over 30 years, where he led an advanced development group
for power electronics and a systems engineering group for new power
architectures in telecommunications systems. During a portion of that time,
he managed a computer-based missile intercept guidance group where he
provided the technical lead. Mark also organized and supervised a patent
committee that considered patentability issues for the power electronics
division of a Fortune 50 company.
EDUCATION
Mark graduated with an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering
from Carnegie Mellon University
in 1962, and he received a Master’s degree and Doctorate in
electrical engineering from Carnegie
Mellon University
in 1963 and 1965, respectively.
MEMBERSHIPS
Mark is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers. He was General Chair of the 2000 International
Telecommunications Energy Conference that took place in Phoenix, Arizona,
and is past chair of the conference executive committee. He also has
organized rap sessions for the Applied Power Electronics Conference. He has
contributed to special study groups in the Power Supply Manufacturers'
Association.
