About Jay B.
Jay B. Hann has built a career centered on patent law and patent examination. He is admitted to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and works in California. His professional path crosses both government and private practice.
Hann began work as a patent lawyer in 2011 at Hann Intellectual Property Services. In that role he advised clients on patent applications and procedural matters before the USPTO. His early casework involved preparing and filing patent applications and responding to office actions.
In 2012 he served as a patent examiner at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. In that position he reviewed patent filings and assessed claims against prior art and statutory criteria. The work required careful analysis of technical disclosures and application of statutory standards for patentability.
Those two years in different parts of the patent system gave him perspective on both sides of the filing process. He has experience drafting claims and prosecuting applications. He also has hands-on familiarity with the examination process and the kinds of rejections and arguments that commonly arise.
Hann’s practice focuses on patent prosecution and patent-related counseling. He handles drafting patent applications, responding to USPTO office actions, and advising clients on prosecution strategy. He represents clients in matters before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and provides counsel on patent issues arising under California law.
Colleagues and clients encounter an attorney who moves between technical detail and procedural requirements with steady attention. He combines time spent in private practice with firsthand experience at the USPTO. That background informs how he prepares filings and frames arguments in prosecution.
As a practitioner admitted before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and working in California, Hann continues to handle patent prosecution and related intellectual property matters through Hann Intellectual Property Services. His current practice focuses on patent prosecution and related intellectual property matters.
