Peter provides consulting and expert witness services under this LLC. His focus is on Electrical Engineering, Semiconductor Packaging, and Systems Engineering. As a systems engineer and inventor he has a broad technical background and broad experience in patent matters, including patent writing, expert witness, expert reports, claim charts, depositions, and infringement analysis of existing products.
(Printing industry)
June 1997 — June 2002 (5 years 1 month)
Peter led a small group of systems engineers and talented consultants to develop a new form of printing called solid state printing, using dry toners and electrostatic imaging. This printing method requires no optics in the form of laser beams or photo conductive drums; rather the image is written by direct manipulation of the toner particles. The method worked dramatically well, but the company stumbled with regard to transferring the image to a drum or belt. Peter has written a new patent to overcome this problem.
