GrayRobinson is pleased to announce the addition of another Registered Patent Attorney to its bench. Associate Attorney Samuel Hanna was recently admitted to practice in all patent matters before United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), a hard-earned qualification that strengthens the firm’s capabilities across Florida. Based in the Tampa office, Samuel joins Registered Patent Attorneys Thomas McThenia and Sean E. Combs (Gainesville), Christopher Ramsey, Ph.D. (Orlando), Pablo Meles (Miami), Jennifer Vanover (Jacksonville), Donald Showalter (Fort Lauderdale), and Michael Colitz (Tampa). Samuel’s accomplishment reflects his expanding knowledge and capabilities in Intellectual Property (IP) law and bolsters the firm’s ability to serve clients across the full spectrum of IP matters.
Obtaining registration as a Patent Attorney requires passage of the notoriously challenging USPTO registration examination and satisfaction of the agency’s qualifications for representing patent applicants. The title of Registered Patent Attorney signifies an attorney’s advanced skillset and ability to navigate the complexities of patent law and USPTO procedures, making it a distinguished designation in the IP legal community.
In his practice, Samuel is committed to safeguarding clients’ IP assets through strategic legal frameworks and protecting their business interests by helping them navigate the modern marketplace in which IP plays a crucial role. Focused on patents and trademarks, Samuel provides practical counsel that ensures robust legal protection while aligning with clients’ business objectives. By leveraging his knowledge of patent and trademark laws, regulations, and processes, he helps clients secure competitive advantages and maintain smooth operations in today’s dynamic marketplace. Samuel will also work closely with Sean Combs, and other GrayRobinson patent attorneys, to expand the firm’s capabilities and resources relating to intellectual property (IP) in artificial intelligence (AI) and other innovative technologies.
