Michele Moresco, PhD

Overview

Michele Moresco is a patent attorney focusing on sophisticated patent prosecution and portfolio management matters in the electrical, computer, and physics-based technology spaces. He advises start-ups, multinational companies, and academic institutions on building, scaling, and managing global patent portfolios for technologies including photonics, optics and imaging systems, medical devices, semiconductor devices and packaging, electromagnetic materials, and advanced manufacturing processes.

Michele regularly works at the interface of hardware, software, and applied physics, helping clients align patent strategy with product development, commercialization goals, and long-term business objectives. His practice also includes freedom-to-operate and transactional due-diligence analyses, as well as support for patent litigation and inter partes review (IPR) proceedings.

Prior to joining Wolf Greenfield, Michele was a postdoctoral associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he designed and tested advanced electrical and optical systems for applications including LIDAR sensors for autonomous vehicles, erbium-doped lasers, infrared and visible pixel arrays, and optical wireless links for satellite communications. He also led operations for a $4 million DARPA-funded program to develop a silicon photonics fabrication platform for high-volume manufacturing and was co-awarded $100,000 from the MIT Deshpande Center to support commercialization of a low-power 100G Ethernet system for data centers.

As a graduate student at Boston University, Michele modeled and designed infrared detector systems for atmospheric carbon-dioxide profiling using avalanche photodiodes and developed silicon-based light-emitting devices.
