Lathrop & Gage's Jerome Smith Presents Valuable Patent Law Information to Israeli Law Firms
Jerome Smith, a registered patent attorney and of counsel with Lathrop & Gage L.C., traveled to Israel to present on U.S. patent law to four law firms.

According to the Gartner Group, more than 100 Israeli high-tech companies trade on NASDAQ.

“U.S. patents are essential and a driving force for Israel’s high-tech economy,” Smith said. “It is important for these innovative companies to protect their intellectual property assets. I’ve been privileged to have the opportunity to give my colleagues in Israel some important suggestions to ensure their patent applications get the job done.”

Smith has been assisting Israeli companies with intellectual property matters, including acquiring U.S. patents, since 1996. He regularly advises companies in fields such as robotics, packet switched networks for cellular telephones, voice over networks, imaging, semiconductors, software and medical devices. He is a member at Kehilath Israel Synagogue in Overland Park, Kan.
