Biography
Dr. Mark Moore concentrates his practice in the area of intellectual property law, including the preparation and prosecution of U.S. and foreign patent applications in the biochemical, medical, pharmaceutical, and molecular genetic arts. For the past 25 years, Mark has assisted clients with patent procurement, and has been involved in various aspects of patent portfolio development, including implementation of effective patent prosecution strategies for technologies in the chemical, pharmaceutical and life sciences. He also has significant experience as a technical consultant in various aspects of intellectual property, and has assisted attorneys with due diligence, opinion, expert witness preparation, discovery, and litigation work.
Before joining Haynes Boone, Mark spent six years with the Houston IP firm of Williams, Morgan & Amerson, and prior to that, was a patent agent in the Austin office of the former Arnold, White & Durkee for more than five years. Prior to beginning his intellectual property career, Mark was an academic researcher in the field of molecular genetics. His doctoral dissertation focused on molecular aspects of membrane biogenesis in photosynthetic bacteria, and characterization of the phylogenetic relatedness of more than two dozen species of photosynthetic prokaryotes.
Mark is a co-inventor of U.S. and foreign patents involving a variety of technologies, including methods for bioremediation of environmental heavy-metal contaminants; the generation of hydrogen fuel by photosynthetic bacteria; and molecular biological methods for treating human diseases including hypertension.
