Lee R. Osman is a partner of the firm, as well as Dorsey's Intellectual Property group head and chair of Dorsey's Patent practice group.  In his career, Lee has provided IP legal services for over a decade to a broad range of clients in Denver and along Colorado's Front Range.  For the past five years, Lee's practice has expanded to include clients from New York to California, corresponding to the Firm's geographic expanse.  The team of IP attorneys in the Denver office and at the Firm are a critical aspect of Lee's practice.

Lee's practice includes counseling on many aspects of IP, including IP licensing, portfolio development and management, IP commercialization, and due diligence relating to client sales and acquisitions.  In the patent field, Lee helps his clients analyze the risks associated with the introduction of new products, including analyzing infringement and validity issues, and preparing related opinions.  Lee also helps clients identify innovation by designing and implementing invention disclosure systems, and helps his clients protect those inventions by preparing and prosecuting patent applications at the United States Patent and Trademark Office.  Where a client is in need of assistance in dealing with an IP infringement or enforcement issue, Lee works with the client and Dorsey trial attorneys to investigate the situation and strategize the most cost effective way to realize the client's goals.

Lee has worked in many areas of technology.  As an engineer at Honeywell, Inc., and later at ATMEL Corp., Lee worked as semiconductor fabrication process engineer.  Since becoming a patent attorney, Lee has worked extensively with manufacturing processes and equipment; industrial processes and equipment; software related to industrial and business processes; fitness, shower, filter, and oral health products; environmental remediation processes and equipment, and interactive television.
