Max Colice is an associate with Foley & Lardner LLP. He is a member of the Electronics Practice and the Patent Office Trials Practice. He provides strategic counseling and day-to-day patent prosecution advice for clients pursuing patent protection on photonics, optics, lasers, semiconductor devices, electronics, software, telecommunications and medical devices. He has also represented patent owners and requesters in ex parte and inter partes reexaminations.
Dr. Colice graduated, cum laude, from Suffolk University Law School and is admitted to practice in Massachusetts. He is also registered to practice as a patent attorney before the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Before becoming a patent attorney, Dr. Colice received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder and an Sc.B. in electrical engineering from Brown University.
Dr. Colice has hands-on experience with optics, fiber optics, optoelectronics, and microwave devices. In graduate school, he built systems that used nonlinear optics to process signals from radio-frequency, phased-array antennas as part of a DARPA-sponsored collaboration between industry and academia. As a postdoctoral fellow at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, he invented a method of tracking motion for high-resolution endoscopic imaging. Before graduate school, he worked on noise reduction in analog fiber-optic links at the U.S. Naval Research Lab in Washington, D.C.
Dr. Colice is a co-author of Inter Partes Revocation Proceedings: Inter Partes Review, Post-Grant Review and Inter Partes Reexamination, 2012 ed., with his Foley colleagues Matt Smith and Andrew Cheslock. He has also written about the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s programs for expediting patent examination and micro-entity status for universities.
