Attorneys

Teige is a patent attorney with particular expertise in biotechnology, neuroscience and pharmaceuticals, and experience in related areas, such as medical devices and nanotechnology. His work includes drafting and prosecuting patent applications and managing global patent portfolios; providing patentability, validity, and freedom-to-operate opinions; and performing due diligence analyses, as well as litigation, post-grant proceedings, and appeals. He also provides analogous services related to trademark protection.

Teige received a Presidential Scholarship from Boston College, where he received his bachelor’s degree; was named Scholar of the College; and was awarded membership in Phi Beta Kappa and continued his studies there to receive his doctoral degree. As a postdoctoral fellow at the Yale University School of Medicine, he subsequently studied intracellular signaling mechanisms, regulation of genome expression, and morphological aspects of neural plasticity responsible for the adaptations seen following chronic exposure to stress, antidepressant drugs, and drugs of abuse. Thereafter, Teige was an assistant professor at Brown University, directing a research laboratory where he continued such work. He authored numerous peer-reviewed research papers, review articles, and book chapters throughout his career as a research scientist, a rich background that enables him to combine scientific awareness with considerable legal expertise in advancing clients' interests.

Teige enjoys Irish folk music and plays the saxophone. His favorite movie would be "The Big Lebowski".
