Christopher Peil, Founder and Principal, Law Office of Christopher Peil, has spent most of his career in the San Francisco Bay area and has served Silicon Valley as a patent practitioner for nearly 15 years, representing all types of clients, from individual inventors and start-ups to major universities and Fortune 500 companies. He has a passion for helping people realize their business goals and their dreams and is fascinated by unusual technological niches. He was instrumental in securing a number of the assets, notably cookie technology, in the AOL patent portfolio, recently sold to Microsoft Corporation for more than one billion dollars. Chris Peil says, "I'm excited to be participating with the Global Product Management Talk and Startup Product Communities because I think it's time we realized how much product management and marketing have to contribute in developing IP assets that function as effective business tools that support and facilitate achievement of organizational objectives."
