Peter Chen, and Andrea Reister are quoted by The Recorder in an article regarding the recent additions to the firm’s Patent Office Trials Practice Group. 

Commenting on what drew him to Covington, Chen says, “As I was on the [Patent Trial and Appeal Board] bench as lead administrative patent judge, it became more apparent to me that while I enjoyed being in a judicial role, especially working with my fellow judges on three-judge panels … I really also enjoyed being an advocate for clients and representing clients.”

Andrea Reister says, “We are thrilled to add Peter and Scott to our team as we expect the demand for Patent Office trials to continue to grow in the coming years, and their experience in the high tech and life science sectors will benefit our clients tremendously.”
