SAN DIEGO – Noel C. Gillespie has joined Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch’s intellectual property team as a partner. He comes from the San Diego office of Baker & McKenzie. His move was brokered by Watanabe Nason, LLC.
Gillespie assists clients with strategic patent portfolios that protect their technology and help them achieve their business objectives.
“As we continually look for strategic growth opportunities that make sense for the firm and our clients, intellectual property remains an important focus for us,” said Stephen C. Beuerle, the leader of Procopio’s intellectual property team. “Noel is one of the preeminent hi-tech patent attorneys in San Diego.
“He not only contributes extensive knowledge and proven ability as a patent attorney, but he also brings to the table a unique perspective given his extensive past telecommunications experience for several leading technology corporations.”
Gillespie has extensive experience in dealing with telecommunications companies. He served as senior design engineer and product team leader for Sony Digital Telecommunications of America in San Diego, where he was responsible for the comprehensive base band design for several CDMA handsets that used the latest Qualcomm Mobile Station Modem chipsets.
