About
James David Busch
James David Busch is an experienced patent attorney and inventor with a proven record of creating valuable patent portfolios.
Mr. Busch has started successful companies and has prosecuted patent portfolios for his companies and for clients.
One of Mr. Busch’s patent portfolios is recognized to be significant by the U.S. Patent Office and numerous large companies as evidenced by over 900 forward citations, and the issuance of 20 patents. That portfolio is now assigned to a large company. Another of Mr. Busch’s portfolios is directed to products produced by a manufacturing company that Mr. Busch founded. As an inventor himself, Mr. Busch profoundly understands the effort and emotion that goes into each invention, and the perspective of an inventor during the licensing and enforcement process.

Lisa and Gerald Hosier, pioneers in the field of contingent fee patent enforcement and known for their work on the historic Lemelson Licensing Program. Working with co-counsel, Mr. Busch has helped clients obtain, manage, license, and enforce intellectual property rights involving cellular telephony, computer software, radio communications (including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and other ISM radios), automotive, wireless communication, and many other technologies. During this time, hundreds of millions of dollars in recoveries have been collected on behalf of clients.
