About Bruce Berman
As a consultant and editor focused on intellectual property rights, I am aware of the latest developments in strategy and finance, and close to the most influential people.
Since 1988 I have been working with patent holders, managers, lawyers and investors to frame and properly convey their assets, performance,disputes and transactions.
