Stipkala LLC, a South Carolina-based intellectual property law firm, has opened a Cincinnati satellite office staffed by a local attorney with a background in biophysical chemistry.
"We help people with copyright and patents for their inventions, and offer help with trade secret law and freedom to operate searches and analysis," said firm founder Jeremy Stipkala.
Local attorney Harry Guttman joined the firm as Counsel Patent Attorney and operates an office out of Blue Ash. The office opened just a few weeks ago. Guttman has nine years of experience in patent law. He earned his J.D. from George Washington University Law School with Honors, and holds a Ph.D. in Biophysical Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Stipkala and Guttman knew each other from a previous working relationship, Stipkala said. Guttman's focus will be on chemical and biotechnology arts, a good match with the growing biotech and chemical science business community in Greater Cincinnati.
"Cincinnati has a number of Fortune 500 headquarters and a lot of chemistry and biotech companies," Stipkala said.
In addition to the firm’s main office in Charleston, it also has a satellite office in Houston.
