Dentons announces today the addition of partner Timothy Bickham to its Intellectual Property and Technology practice in Washington, DC. With extensive experience in patent law and complex litigation, Bickham helps clients, including many international entities entering the US market, protect their intellectual property rights and achieve their business objectives.

Bickham will serve as head of Dentons’ China IP Litigation team.
