Autorenporträt

Howard graduated Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, and Tau Beta Pi from Princeton University (Princeton, NJ) in 1982 with a B.S.E.E. Degree in Electric Engineering and Computer Science. He entered Duke University (Durham, NC) in 1984, simultaneously pursuing a Master's Degree in Business Administration at the Fuqua School of Business and a Juris Doctorate Degree at Duke Law School. While at Duke, he served on the Editorial Board of the Duke Law Journal. He graduated with highest honors, Order of the Coif honors, and won the Willis Smith Award for being first in his law school class.

Immediately after graduating from Duke, he began clerking for Judge Eugene Wright on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Seattle, WA. A year later, he entered private practice as a member of the Oregon bar, joining Stoel, Rives, a Pacific Northwest law firm headquartered in Portland. After spending two years in the Patent Group at Stoel, Mr. Skaist became an in-house patent attorney for General Electric Co. at its Corporate Research and Development Center outside Albany, New York. Eventually, he joined AT&T's Bell Laboratories as an intellectual property attorney, prior to the formation of Lucent Technologies. He returned to the Pacific Northwest in 1996 rose to become Intel's Director of Patents.

In 2003, Mr. Skaist left Intel and founded Berkeley Law & Technology Group, (BLTG). Currently, BLTG has a total of twelve patent lawyers. BLTG handles all aspects of patent law practice, including: patent preparation and prosecution, patent strategy, portfolio building, and portfolio management, patent assertion and other patent license negotiation support, preparing patent opinion letters, and strategic oversight of patent litigation. Mr. Skaist was also an adjunct professor at the Berkeley School of Law (formerly, Boalt Hall) in Berkeley, CA, and at Willamette School of Law in Salem, OR, and has also taught patent law, copyright law, and computer law at Lewis and Clark Law School and Albany Law School. In addition, he is a member of the AIPLA and served for several years (1998-2001) on the Editorial Board of the AIPLA Quarterly Journal.
