Hi my name is Paul Katterle and I am a registered patent attorney with more than twenty years of IP experience. I started my career as a controls engineer, went to law school at night and then worked as an attorney, first as a corporate generalist and then as an IP attorney. I have worked both at law firms and in corporations. 

Before Rob and I formed Katterle Nupp LLC, I was Chief Counsel of IP for ABB, North America, which is a member of the ABB Group of companies. The ABB Group is a global supplier of automation and power products and services.  

My IP experience is broad and encompasses patents, trademarks and copyright, as well as transactional matters and trade secrets. I have an extensive background in various fields of technology, including chemical, mechanical and electromechanical arts, medical technology, control systems and software.
