Anthony P. Gangemi

Tony Gangemi is a Partner in Murtha Cullina’s Business & Finance Department and Chair of our Intellectual Property (IP) Practice Group.  Tony's practice includes a wide array of clients – large and small academic institutions, established private businesses, and startups. 

As a former licensed professional engineer, Tony recognizes the importance of technology.  Just as important, his years of working as a consulting engineer give him a business perspective to legal issues, which helps him understand the business objectives of companies and investors that consider IP a core business driver.  Tony is committed to developing cost effective solutions that are aligned with those business objectives.

Tony's practice includes both the procurement of IP and litigating infringement and enforcement matters.  When a client is in need of assistance in dealing with an IP infringement or enforcement issue, Tony works with the client and Murtha Cullina trial attorneys to investigate the situation and strategize the most cost effective way to realize the client's goals.

Tony’s practice includes counseling on many aspects of IP, including IP licensing, portfolio development and management, IP commercialization, and due diligence relating to client sales and acquisitions.  He counsels clients on these aspects in all areas of IP including patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secrets matters.

As an experienced patent attorney, Tony helps clients analyze the risks associated with the introduction of new products, including analyzing infringement and validity issues, and preparing related opinions.  He also helps clients identify innovation by designing and implementing invention disclosure systems, and helps protect those inventions by preparing and prosecuting patent applications at the United States Patent and Trademark Office.  Tony has extensive experience in a variety of technical fields including computer software, clean energy, medical devices, and construction technologies. 

As an attorney who is involved in the lifecycle of a patent for a broad spectrum of technologies and organizations, Tony brings a unique and meaningful perspective to his work.
