Bio: Paige Reese

As a young student, Paige always had an interest in law; however, she also loved math and engineering. She soon discovered that intellectual property law let her combine both her passions, working with engineers to obtain patents for new inventions and technologies.
Paige prepares and prosecutes patent applications, conducts patentability and freedom to operate searches, counsels’ clients on the strategic use of intellectual property assets, and drafts and negotiates the complex agreements that underpin software development and licensing. She also provides her intellectual property expertise to advise on general corporate matters and mergers and acquisitions with intellectual property implications. Paige works with clients in a variety of industries and has a particular interest in clients developing new technology and software.
Paige loves nothing more than the opportunity to work with the engineers and inventors behind new technologies. She finds it truly exciting to watch new ideas come to fruition for clients and deeply rewarding to be able to protect these ideas through the law.
