She has extensive experience in appellate practice before the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences. She frequently prepares, and advises clients regarding, confidential nondisclosure, licensing, and non-compete agreements. After graduating from the honors chemistry program at Indiana University, Ms. Johnson worked as a scientist for the Drug Enforcement Administration, G.D. Searle and Northern Telecom. As a lawyer Ms. Johnson worked first in patent litigation at a nationwide litigation firm, and then in patent prosecution at a nationwide patent prosecution firm.
