Puja Detjen

Puja Detjen came to Patterson + Sheridan with a unique skillset that she has since put to good use in her intellectual property law practice. As a former member of GE’s Operations Management Leadership Program, Puja supported corporate strategy objectives across manufacturing, operations, and supply chain management. Today, she leverages her diverse business experience to lead the way for inventors seeking to align their IP efforts with a strategic plan.

Puja’s practice focuses on patent preparation and prosecution of both domestic and international patents. She has years of experience in a wide range of evolving technologies – from New Radio to Wi-Fi, audio output devices, user interfaces, radio front ends, and artificial nervous systems. Puja parlays her intimate knowledge of her clients’ technology and business into a comprehensive IP strategy that includes developing and protecting their brands. Consequently, she has become an important player in the firm’s branding and trademark section. Puja’s ability to focus on the bigger picture without losing sight of the details ensures that her all aspects of her client’s intellectual property get the needed protection to thrive across multiple jurisdictions.

In addition to preparing and prosecuting patents, Puja provides transactional support for clients engaging in mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures. For Puja, this involves performing IP portfolio due diligence and analyzing assets such as trademarks, patents, and licensing agreements. Puja also collaborates with inventors, in-house counsel, and foreign and domestic associates to manage the myriad of working components and competing interests that accompany these complex transactions. Relying upon a cohesive mix of her legal expertise and management skills, Puja is able to deliver exceptional results that meet each party’s individual needs.

When she isn’t devoting her time to helping clients navigate the patent application process or the intricacies of an M&A deal, Puja enjoys the performing arts, spending time with her husband and children, and pursuing her passion for healthy living.
