TPG is the
commercial persona and alternate ego of Denis O'Brien.
I
am a patent attorney registered with the Virginia State Bar and the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office. (USPTO registration # 42,947.) My PhD is in
pharmacology; my research field was neuropharmacology at the
University of Virginia and Harvard. My bachelors is in biology --
Ohio State University.
Before becoming a patent attorney I obtained three patents, and
so I know the
frustrations of being a small-time inventor facing very large costs for
protecting good ideas. I founded Cosmosis in
1998 with the goal of offering
"small-entity" inventors -- individuals and small businesses -- quality patent
services at a reasonable cost. In 2007 I left the solo practice
and the US and joined Cliff Vermette at Vermette & Co in Vancouver,
B.C., a firm specializing in international patent protection. I
specialize in US practice, and continue to enjoy working with small-entity
inventors and their unique problems.
