The addition of Timothy J. Bechen, a registered patent attorney and experienced IP prosecutor, expands Woods Rogers’ ability to serve business and emerging growth clients across Virginia.

Tim supports clients across the country and internationally in a variety of industries with a full range of IP needs.

“We are delighted to welcome Tim to our IP team,” said Woods Rogers’ President Dan Summerlin. “Adding a second registered patent attorney and having him in our Richmond office does more than expand the IP practice geographically. An attorney with Tim’s background and talent also allows us to offer our services to a new set of businesses and industries.”
