Matthew Latimer is a founding partner of Moazzam & Latimer LLP. His practice includes patent application preparation and prosecution, client counseling, and opinions on infringement, validity, and patentability. Dr. Latimer’s practice is focused in the areas of biotechnology, nanotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and chemistry.

Experience

Prior to forming the firm with Dr. Moazzam, Dr. Latimer worked as a student associate, then an associate, at the Intellectual Property law firm of Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner in their Washington, D.C. and Reston, VA, offices. Prior to joining Finnegan, Henderson, Dr. Latimer worked as a law clerk at the Intellectual Property law firm of Oliff and Berridge in Northern Virginia. Before beginning his career in private patent law, Dr. Latimer was a patent examiner in the biotechnology group at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, where he examined patent applications directed to gene expression technology.

Dr. Latimer’s scientific background includes work in prokaryotic gene expression and protein biochemistry, as well as human immune system regulation. As a graduate student, Dr. Latimer investigated the molecular organization and structure of genes involved in activation of the carbon and energy source acetate by a methanogenic Archaea. His studies also focused on identifying the biochemical properties of enzymes involved in the activation pathway. As a post-doctoral fellow at the National Cancer Institute’s Frederick Research Center, Dr. Latimer investigated structure-function relationships in the regulation of activity of the immune response transcription factor NFKB.
