C.G. Moore is a registered patent attorney in the Firm's Mandeville office. Dr. Moore concentrates his practice on intellectual property matters relating to biotechnology, chemistry, and pharmaceuticals, with particular focus on molecular and cellular biology, small molecule chemistry, neurobiology, drug delivery and medical devices.
In addition to the preparation and prosecution of patent applications, Dr. Moore also has experience with reexamination proceedings, appeals to the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences, managing patent portfolios, drafting patent licenses and freedom-to-operate opinions, performing due diligence in connection with public financings and acquisitions and litigation involving patents and trademarks.
Dr. Moore gained significant research experience in the life sciences through his work as a research assistant at the Oregon Health Sciences University and later at the Massachusetts General Hospital. He also acquired first-hand experience with the biotechnology industry while working with the New England Organ Bank and the Transplant Resource Center of Maryland.
As a Ph.D. candidate at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Dr. Moore's thesis research focused on the regulation of glutamate receptors and their interaction with Homer proteins, demonstrating a role for coordinated phosphorylation and isomerization.
During law school, Dr. Moore was an intern and patent agent with the Tulane University Office of Technology Transfer and Business Development, where he prepared patent applications, participated in patent licensing transactions and developed marketing strategies.
