How AI Is Changing Patent Work

Nash’s career sits at the intersection of IP, finance, and technology from preparing expert and damages reports at Ocean Tomo, to advising on IP-based M&A and financing as Vice President at Houlihan Lokey, to building KPMG's IP advisory practice from the ground up. That path gave him a firsthand view of where existing patent analytics tools fall short, which is what drew him to Patlytics: a platform bringing validity, infringement, and valuation together in one place. Now he is using his past expertise and knowledge to help Patlytics continue its growth.

Chris McKenna is Office Managing Partner of Foley & Lardner's Boston office and Chair of Cloud Computing Infrastructure and Solutions within the firm's Innovative Technology sector. He advises technology companies on turning IP into a competitive asset from building patent portfolios for startups and scaling companies to managing worldwide portfolios for established corporations, including those built through M&A. Before law, he held operating and technical leadership roles at software and systems-integration companies, giving him a practitioner's view of the technology his clients build.
