Eugene Daneshvar

Eugene Daneshvar is the founder of Black Swan Intellectual Property, a Silicon Valley boutique that advises neurotech and medical device inventors on patent strategy. He did his PhD in biomedical engineering at Michigan on moveable neural electrodes, using conjugated polymer actuators to let an implant deploy itself into three dimensions once it is in the brain, and later brought a case over that work in Daneshvar v. Kipke and NeuroNexus Technologies. He took his law degree at Santa Clara as an IP Fellow, trained at Wilson Sonsini, Ropes and Gray, and Oblon, and now runs his own firm.
