He is a frequent author and speaker on matters relating to patent law and software IP law. His engineering experience includes roles in industry, academia, and government, and he has authored numerous technical papers.

Testimonials

“I have almost exclusively worked with Dr. Jeffrey Gluck and his associates in Panitch Schwarze Belisario & Nadel, LLP both with regard to my company’s and my personal IP, for all my Patent filing and prosecution. For about 20 years, I have followed Jeff through four law firms and multiple companies, and I have to say he is by far the best Patent attorney I have ever known. He has vast knowledge of the patent processes and keeps up with the law and current changes in the USPTO. More importantly is willing to explain them to me so I can make the best decisions about my and my company’s IP. Having experience in and personal contacts with the USPTO, when all else fails, he has also been instrumental in deftly resolving issues with examiners through direct conferences. And I should know how rare that is because I am the inventor or a co-inventor in over 106 US patents around 20 of which I own personally. With Jeff as one of their partners, I would highly recommend Panitch Schwarze Belisario & Nadel, LLP.”
