Dev Narasimhan has extensive experience in intellectual property (IP), particularly patents. After law school, he worked at a patent search firm before he worked in-house at a global footwear and apparel company. There he learned how IP fits into a corporate culture and its importance not just in the US, but also around the world. He then worked briefly at a patent law firm where he honed his patent prosecution skills. As a Patent Portfolio Manager at University of Washington's CoMotion, Dev oversees unlicensed and licensed portfolios of patents/applications for UW's researchers, faculty, and scientists. Working with them as well as with other stakeholders, Dev provides effective and strategic patent solutions to increase chances of commercialization. 

When not working with patents, Dev likes to take advantage of the Pacific Northwest's offerings, such as hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, and paddle boarding. He also likes to walk around the UW campus and travel, when given the opportunity.
