June 21, 2010
A former deputy general counsel for Microsoft, Dan Crouse, is joining the Seattle office of Lee & Hayes, a Spokane intellectual property firm.
Dan Crouse worked for Microsoft from 1993 to 2003 where he managed the Microsoft Patent Group. With Lee & Hayes he’ll focus on being a patent portfolio counselor, advising companies how to manage IP assets. His role will be the “of counsel” type, meaning he won’t work a regular schedule.
A press release had Lewis Lee, the firm’s co-founder, saying: “He knows the intriciacies of how to plan, initiate, and grow a world-class portfolio and how to convey that strategy clearly to executives. He is a great resource to emerging and established technology clients trying to negotiate the multitude of intellectual property issues facing tech companies in this century.”
