| PATENT ATTORNEYS AND AGENTS
Cynthia R. Moore, J.D., Ph.D.
Cynthia
R. Moore received a B.A. in Chemistry from Duke University in 1978, a
Ph.D. in Biophysical Chemistry from the University of Virginia in 1989,
and a J.D. from Seton Hall University School of Law in 1998. Prior to
attending graduate school, Cynthia worked in the Chemistry Department
and at the Cancer Biology Research Laboratory at Stanford University,
where she was involved with membrane studies and monoclonal antibody
technologies. Cynthia's graduate work involved structural studies of
the nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor, utilizing proteolytic digestion
and mass spectrometric sequencing and fluorescence spectroscopy to
investigate the transmembrane topography of the protein and the ion
channel gating. This work was presented at the Biophysical Society
annual meetings in 1987 and 1989. Cynthia's postdoctoral experience
includes an Intramural Research Training fellowship at the National
Institutes of Health, investigating the electrophysiology and
biophysics of ion channels in black lipid membranes, and further
postdoctoral work at Rutgers University, investigating the
thermodynamics of DNA conformation and drug binding. Cynthia was an
Assistant Instructor at Rutgers College of Pharmacy for pharmaceutical
chemistry, and was also an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Stevens
Institute of Technology, where she lectured on separation and
purification techniques in analytical chemistry.
After
receiving her J.D., Cynthia was an associate at the law firm of
Davidson, Davidson & Kappel, LLP, in Manhattan, where she
concentrated on prosecuting patents, drafting opinions and performing
due diligence analyses relating to patentability or technology
licensing and acquisition, primarily in the areas of pharmaceuticals
and biotechnology. Cynthia was also an associate at Reed &
Associates in Menlo Park, CA, where she prepared and prosecuted
patents, and drafted opinions, primarily in the areas of polymers,
pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. Cynthia’s practice includes patent
preparation, prosecution and related services, specializing in the
chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnological fields, and including
nanotechnology, medical devices and instrumentation. She has experience
with FDA-related patent matters, including patent invalidity analyses
associated with ANDA submissions. Cynthia is familiar with technologies
in diverse areas such as immunology, biochemistry and biophysics of
membranes and membrane proteins, nucleic acid structures and drug
binding, molecular biology and gene therapy, transgenic plants and
animals, physiology and pharmacology, new chemical entities,
pharmaceutical formulations and methods of treatment, LEDs, explosives,
natural products, analytical and diagnostic instrumentation, and
nanotechnology. Cynthia is admitted to the bar in New York and
registered to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark
Office.
