Overview
Sam Kim assists the firm in post-grant proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and patent prosecution related to bioinformatics, medical devices, and computer hardware and software.
Prior to joining Wolf Greenfield, Sam worked as a patent agent at an intellectual property law firm and served as a summer associate for several Am Law 100 firms. He also previously worked as a research intern at the New York Genome Center.
Sam holds a PhD in electrical engineering and computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where his thesis work studied computational methods to dissect the genetic basis of human disease.
