Today, my guest is Steve Carlson, a Partner at Robins Kaplan who is a first chair litigator in patent, trade secret, and other high technology cases. With a degree in chemistry, he’s worked across the technology spectrum, including medical diagnostics, biotechnology, software, artificial intelligence systems, and computer hardware.
