PORTLAND, OR, August 20, 2020/
John Russell is among an elite group of IP professionals throughout the globe selected for inclusion in IAM Strategy 300 – The World’s Leading IP Strategists. John heads McCoy Russell LLP’s patent prosecution and appeal practice and has been developing winning patent drafting and prosecution strategies for more than 20 years. He also runs the nation’s leading patent prosecution blog – www.mriplaw.com, which discusses patent prosecution issues from a practical perspective. His inclusion in IAM Strategy 300 cements his position in the field and the respect McCoy Russell LLP has gained over the years.
After searching for patent prosecution strategies on-line and finding the available resources lacking, he started one of the most popular patent prosecution blogs available, www.mriplaw.com.

This blog continues to have no paid advertising, and is fully supported by his personal involvement.
“My singular career objective is to be an innovator in developing effective intellectual property strategies.” says John, “I believe the unique ingredients that lead to success in this field include being active in thought leadership and the innovation community, immersive engagement with clients and the intellectual property challenges facing them, and the ability to think outside the box in how to marshal resources and forge new paths.”
John currently represents clients in a variety of patent matters, utilizing his experience to refine and advance innovative strategies to develop an intellectual property portfolio for the firm’s clients. He maintains a leading role in the firm’s unique collaborative model that utilizes patent attorneys and agents with an in-house technical staff to leverage not only legal and strategy expertise, but also technical expertise and experience. Strategies he’s developed at McCoy Russell, including leading portfolio development brainstorming and overseeing prosecution strategy, have generated valuable portfolios for clients including portfolios that have generated millions in licensing revenue or stopped a competitive from entering the market altogether.
