Last week, I had an unforgettable reunion dinner with some of my cherished Motorola Solutions colleagues. Reminiscing about my 37 years with them sparked a powerful reminder of why I’m “not your ordinary IP attorney.”

There are thousands of registered patent attorneys in the U.S., and even more trademark and copyright attorneys. 

𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙖𝙢 𝙄 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩? 

Why do so many inventors and entrepreneurs place their trust in me and my firm, Sagacity Legal?

𝑰𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒎𝒚 𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒕𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈. 

For 16 years, I thrived in engineering and management, where I discovered my fascination with the value of patents. I’m not just an inventor of 5 granted patents; I also led numerous engineering teams to secure their competitive edge through patent protection.

𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒅𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒊𝒗𝒐𝒕 𝒎𝒚 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒂 𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒍-𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒅𝒈𝒆𝒅 𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚. 

Over the next two decades, I dedicated myself to patenting thousands of inventions and igniting the same passion for IP in engineering teams worldwide.

𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒄𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝑱𝒖𝒍𝒚 20, 2018. 

Little did I know, as I walked out of Motorola Solutions that day, it would be my last time. 

The very next night, the love of my life, my husband David, passed away suddenly.

In that moment, everything changed.

𝑰 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒆𝒅 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒐𝒐 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈. 

I wanted, no, I needed to pursue what truly mattered to me.

Now, I fulfill my purpose by guiding entrepreneurs and inventors.

I lead them from the spark of an idea to being pioneers in their field and achieving extraordinary success.
