Intellectual Property Patent
Tom Appledorn is an intellectual property attorney who provides his clients with practical strategies to protect, leverage, and monetize their technology assets, both tangible and intangible, and counsels them on risks related to technology in general. He brings to his practice a solutions-focused approach that is informed by his years of experience as an engineer developing software and hardware.
Tom spent his first years at Honigman focusing on worldwide patent procurement and IP portfolio development and continues to work very closely with the firm’s IP procurement group to identify productive, cost-effective strategies to secure meaningful coverage, when available. His clients are often sophisticated and understand the value that intellectual property protection can confer; they also respect third-party intellectual property and routinely enlist Tom to audit their product offerings to identify, mitigate, and navigate through, and around, other parties’ intellectual property.
In the 20 years he has been with Honigman, Tom has become a close, trusted advisor when technology, data, privacy and other technical matters are at play. In addition to the respect he has garnered from clients, he is also sought out and highly regarded by firm colleagues and lawyers outside of the U.S.
Tom’s experiences range from the high technology of Silicon Valley to the automotive companies of Detroit and elsewhere (OEMs and suppliers). He has experience helping to merge these two cultures in the autonomous vehicle space, which can be challenging if the parties involved do not understand the cultural differences and underpinnings that drive the culture divide. Tom’s counseling and unique perspective can narrow that divide to yield a more productive conversation from the outset.
Structures, writes, negotiates, and advises in commercial and transactional contexts to ensure that clients’ third-party relationships are practical and well structured (e.g., with regard to licensing [traditional IP, software, SaaS, PaaS, and the like], services, development, supply, partnership, ventures, investments, M&A, and the like), attending to all aspects of commercial agreements and technology transfers involving technology or intellectual property

Tim Bogel is a patent agent in the Intellectual Property Department. He has nearly 25 years of experience covering a variety of patent-related matters. During Tim’s over 20 year tenure at Honigman, he has taken the lead on a wide range of patent procurement tasks including: drafting patent applications and prosecuting them before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO);
conducting a majority of the Intellectual Property Department’s patent searches inhouse (rather than outsourcing patent searches to a third party vendor) by leveraging a deep understanding of a fee-based patent search engine. These searches include: patentability searches; state of the art searches; and, freedom-to-operate searches; leveraging the fee-based patent search engine for preparing patent watch alerts to monitor patent activity for providing clients with an advanced understanding of the competitive patent landscape; and upon locating prior art references from the patent alerts, preparing Third Party Pre-Issuances Submissions that have contributed to the USPTO denying patent protection to a number of third party patent applicants seeking patent protection during the patent procurement process.
Furthermore, Tim’s experience is not limited to patent prosecution, as he has been a key participant in a number of patent litigation matters by: leveraging the fee-based patent search engine in order to execute invalidity patent searches; and preparing claim charts in view of the teachings of the uncovered prior art that was located during the invalidity searches.
Tim has also participated in many transactional matters by:
leveraging the fee-based patent search engine in order to confirm patent ownership of target entities during acquisitions.
