Dr. Joe Liebeschuetz is a partner in Alston & Bird’s Intellectual Property Patents Group in the Menlo Park office. For the last two decades, Dr. Liebeschuetz has represented biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies in patent matters. He has prosecuted several patents on platform technologies, including humanized antibodies, DNA arrays and transgenic animals, some of which have been widely licensed.

He has been selected by clients to patent their most important assets including biologics that are now either marketed or in late stage clinical trials.
