Will is a registered patent agent with research experience in chemistry and immunology. He focuses his practice on US and international patent prosecution for life sciences clients, with an emphasis on innovations involving small molecules, pharmaceuticals, polymers, antibodies, vaccines, and medical devices. He also has experience advising on global patent strategy, managing patent portfolios, and performing IP due diligence, including validity, infringement, and freedom-to-operate analyses.

Prior to joining Mintz, Will worked as a patent agent with a global law firm, where he handled a broad range of patent prosecution and counseling matters. Earlier, as an NIH postdoctoral fellow at Weill Cornell Medicine’s Medicine and Immunology Departments, he conducted and analyzed flow cytometry of intestinal/lymphatic tissues for fungal-induced Th17 polarization. He also served as a postdoctoral research associate with the University of Minnesota’s Medicinal Chemistry Department, where he designed and synthesized anti-tubercular inhibitors of menaquinone biosynthesis.

While earning his PhD, Will drafted a thesis titled “Biochemical Interrogation of Polyketide Ketoreductase and Dehydratase Domain Stereoselectivity, Stereospecificity and Mechanism via Synthetic, Truncated Substrates.”
