Matthew Williams

Matthew Williams represents clients ranging from solo inventors and startups to established technology companies and global enterprises. Drawing on his technical background in physics and mathematics, he works closely with clients to understand their innovations and commercial objectives, then develops tailored domestic and global IP strategies to support product development, fundraising, licensing, diligence, and strategic transactions. 

Matt advises clients across the full patent lifecycle. His practice includes preparing and prosecuting patent applications, conducting freedom-to-operate and patent landscape analyses, evaluating patent validity and infringement, supporting licensing and due diligence matters, and asserting and defending IP rights. He also represents both patent owners and petitioners in inter partes review proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. For example, Matt has represented a client from startup through acquisition, including by drafting original patent applications, developing follow-on patent protection directed to competitive products, asserting those patents, and defending them in inter partes review proceedings. 

Matt works with a wide range of technologies, including medical devices, semiconductor devices, aerospace systems, autonomous vehicles, industrial machines, nuclear technologies, consumer products, batteries, smartphone applications, generative AI applications, and other advanced technologies. He has a particular focus on the medical device sector, where he counsels clients from emerging startups to global medical device companies. 

Within the medical device industry, Matt’s experience spans catheter systems, thrombus treatment systems, aneurysm treatment systems, neuromodulation technologies, spinal surgical systems, braiding machines, microfluidic devices, therapeutic and diagnostic ultrasound systems, wound imaging devices, brain-computer interfaces, ostomy devices, and cardiac pacing technologies. 

Clients value Matt’s ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, commercially focused patent strategies. Through a collaborative approach, Matt partners closely with clients to strengthen portfolio value, manage IP risk, and position innovation for commercial success.
