Peter Detkin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter N. Detkin [1] is a managing partner for Intellectual Ventures.
He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, with a B.S.E.E. in 1982 and J.D. in 1985. He worked as a patent attorney for Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich and Rosati of Palo Alto, becoming a partner in 1992.
Following this, he worked as Vice President and assistant general counsel in charge of patents, litigation, licensing and antitrust/competition law for Intel, and later became one of four founders of Intellectual Ventures. (This carries irony, since the company has been described as a "patent troll", and Detkin is said to have coined this as a pejorative term while at Intel.)
He is a member of the bars of California and New York, and licensed to represent inventors before the U.S. Patent Office.
