`Dr. Adam Pivovar's practice focuses on complex business litigation, with an emphasis on patent and
`technology related disputes. Adam has substantial trial experience and has successfully resolved patent and
`technology cases in the fields of medical products, biotechnology, medical diagnostics, genetically
`engineered microbes, biofuels, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical formulations, clinical PCR devices,
`chemical and material synthesis and processing, semiconductors, computer software and databases,
`computer integrated telephone equipment, and teleconferencing.
`
`Adam has extensive experience with a variety of complex, developing, and commercially relevant
`technologies. Before joining Cooley as an attorney, he was a staff scientist at the National Institute of
`Standards and Technology (NIST) Center for Neutron Research. At NIST, he was responsible for leading
`research efforts on projects involving biocatalysis, biopharmaceuticals, protein synthesis and covalent
`modifications, protein folding studies, solid state chemistry, organic crystals, molecular electronics, fuel cells,
`and hydrogen storage materials. His staff appointment was preceded by a two-year National Research
`Council Post-doctoral Fellowship award, which involved studies of protein folding, biostability, and enzyme
`function. Adam has published numerous articles in various scientific journals, and was regularly invited to give
`presentations at scientific meetings and universities on the topics of his research. In addition to his research
`efforts, he spent considerable time engaged in policy and research funding initiatives, including roles in the
`National Hydrogen Energy Roadmap Workshop and review of funding proposals for NIST and the National
`Science Foundation.
`
`Upon graduation from The George Washington University Law School, Adam was the national recipient of
`the Jan Jancin Award, an award administered by the American Intellectual Property Law Education
`Foundation that recognizes outstanding student achievement in intellectual property law. George Washington
`University recognized his academic achievements with the Peter D. Rosenberg Award in Patent and
`Intellectual Property Law. He was also an associate with the American Intellectual Property Law Association
`Journal and a member of the moot court board.
`
`Adam's PhD thesis research involved the design, synthesis, and characterization of novel organic solid state
`materials. He first joined Cooley in 2006 and returned after appellate and trial court clerkships with Judge
`Jimmie V. Reyna of the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and Judge Sara Darrow of the US
`District Court for the Central District of Illinois.
