JOHN MALDJIAN, Esq. Rutgers, BS, EE, “Why Start Ups Need an Intellectual Property Strategy" Nov 16 2020 JOHN MALDJIAN BIO https://mlgiplaw.com/about-us/#johnma... website: https://mlgiplaw.com/ When John Maldjian, a curiously passionate patent attorney, founded Maldjian Law Group LLC in 2007, he combined his expertise in electrical engineering and twelve years of prior intellectual property (IP) law experience, setting out on a highly-fulfilling journey to help his IP clients bring their ideas to fruition. From fledgling startups to Fortune 500, John works with a wide variety of clients and gives them the tools to identify their valuable IP assets, protect and monetize them. John developed his passion for innovation and technology at a young age from his father, a mechanical engineer. “He was probably the most intelligent person I’ve ever met, curious about how everything worked until literally the last days of his life. My dad was the consummate ‘thinker and tinkerer’ John said endearingly. That insatiable appetite for learning new technologies and curiosity was firmly planted in John from taking long walks with his dad and their dog, talking about everything from how we are made of the same material as the stars to how there will be “flying cars” one day. After several years of practicing as an engineer, John knew, as a patent attorney he could make a larger impact on pushing the envelope of ingenuity and propelling his clients’ ideas through the protection of their inventions. John is dedicated to harvesting and protecting innovation in all facets of technology and engineering – from electro-mechanical, software, telecommunications, informatics, AI, sustainable energy technology, and the like. He actively communicates with the most interesting and relevant critical thinkers who use these technologies. This is a great way to understand the research community, the private sector, and policy decision makers. He realizes the knowledge of intellectual property, combined with a strong business sense, can help businesses thrive. To this end, John has taken part in speaking engagements to advise on patents, trademarks and copyright law as well as spread awareness and develop relationships with pioneers who share the same vision. His big-picture outlook? According to John, “All over the world, emerging markets are seeking solutions to the growing environmental problems of today. For example, one major concern relates to natural resources management, i.e., fresh water, air pollution alternative forms of energy and conservation. As a patent attorney, I represent clients globally who are trying to replace harmful technologies with renewable energy sources. I am very optimistic about the future — if we work together to harvest collective innovations and protect those ideas through patents, we can monetize the effort to change the course and help heal the Earth through innovation and technology.”
