Before joining GW, Dean Whealan worked at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) where he served as deputy general counsel for intellectual property law and solicitor.  Dean Whealan represented the USPTO in all intellectual property litigation in federal court and advised the agency on a variety of policy issues.  Dean Whealan assisted the U.S. Solicitor General on virtually every intellectual property case that was heard by the Supreme Court between 1999-2008.  Dean Whealan also served as counsel to U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.
