Mr. Roberts will focus his practice primarily on intellectual property litigation. Prior to joining Woodard Emhardt, he gained valuable experience in Chicago assisting throughout all phases of the litigation process for clients including drafting briefs in support of and in opposition to motions, producing claim charts in preparation of Markman hearings, construing intrinsic patent evidence, and evaluating extrinsic scientific literature. In addition to litigation, Chris has experience guiding his clients through intellectual property portfolio management and evaluating the patentability of invention disclosures in a variety of technology fields such as medical devices, varnishes, drones, and automated seating systems.

The Firm welcomes Mr. Roberts to our team and looks forward to building on Woodard Emhardt’s history of protecting and defending client’s creative and intellectual assets.
