James Aslanis 

Mr. Aslanis’ technical expertise spans diverse disciplines including electrical engineering, systems engineering and biomedical engineering, with particular specialization in digital and analog communications, signal processing, circuit design, and semiconductor technology.  Mr. Aslanis has drafted numerous patent applications covering analog and digital integrated circuit designs, wired and wireless communication protocols, signal processing architectures and algorithms, and communication/computing product designs. 

Mr. Aslanis focuses on the creation and development of patent portfolios for emerging and established technology companies preparing and prosecuting patent applications.  Mr. Aslanis also provides technical advice in patent litigation and licensing, including the preparation of invalidity and non-infringement analysis for complex technical patent portfolios. 

Mr. Aslanis’ education includes a B.S in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, an M.S in Systems Engineering and Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University and a Ph.D in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. 

As one of the leading researchers in digital subscriber line (DSL) technology for 15 years, Mr. Aslanis pioneered at Stanford University, Amati Communications and Texas Instruments the design, development and commercialization of DSL as the leading wired broadband communications technology in use today throughout the world.  (IEEE Spectrum’s May 2009 issue listed Amati’s DSL chip set as one of the 25 microchips that shook the world.)  As the head of the DSL technology Center at TI, Mr. Aslanis also designed communication systems at AT&T Bell Laboratories and taught electrical engineering to undergraduate students at the University of Hawaii. 

Prior to joining Beyer Law Group, Mr. Aslanis consulted with multiple law firms and technology companies involved in patent prosecution and patent infringement cases concerning broadband, cable, wireless and networking technologies.  Before his career in intellectual property law, Mr. Aslanis gained extensive technical engineering expertise in the design and production of software integrated silicon solutions for complex communication systems. 

In his spare time, Mr. Aslanis is an avid digital and film photographer, traveling extensively to capture images worldwide.
