Erik Puknys’s Expertise Erik Puknys is a partner in Finnegan’s Silicon Valley Office. He has been the Chair of Finnegan’s Appellate Section, the Managing Partner and Hiring Partner of the Silicon Valley Office, and a member of the firm’s management and compensation committees. His career in intellectual property began more than 30 years ago when he joined the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office as a patent examiner. After working for some time at the PTO he decided, against the advice of his lawyer-parents, to enter law school. He started his legal career at Finnegan’s Washington, D.C. Office in 1994 and moved to California in 1997 to help open the firm’s Silicon Valley Office. He has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in district courts around the United States, in the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and in the United States Supreme Court. He has worked for start-ups and Fortune 100 companies in a wide variety of technical fields, including software, telecommunications, computer hardware, semiconductors, medical diagnostics, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals. He lives in San Francisco with his wife. They have succeeded in getting their son and two daughters out of the house and into colleges and jobs in far-away cities. But unlike their father, they followed their grandparents' advice and are studying subjects and working in jobs other than the law.
