C.G. Moore, Ph.D. is a registered patent attorney and a member of our firm’s Intellectual Property Practice. Dr. Moore concentrates his practice in the fields of biotechnology and chemistry, with a particular emphasis on molecular and cellular biology, small molecule chemistry, medical devices, agricultural chemistry, and food additives.

In addition to the preparation and prosecution of patent applications, C.G. also has broad experience with ex parte reexamination and inter partes review proceedings, appeals to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), managing patent portfolios, drafting patent licenses and opinions, performing due diligence in connection with public financings and acquisitions, and support of litigation involving patents and trademarks.

C.G. gained significant research experience in the life sciences through his work as a research assistant at the Oregon Health Sciences University and later at the Massachusetts General Hospital. He also acquired first-hand experience with the biotechnology industry while working with the New England Organ Bank and the Transplant Resource Center of Maryland.

As a Ph.D. candidate at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, his doctoral research focused on the regulation of glutamate receptors and their interaction with Homer proteins, demonstrating a role for coordinated phosphorylation and isomerization.
