Christian Bauer, Esq. (Of-Counsel)
Christian Bauer, Esq., is a native of Berks County, growing up in the Schuylkill Valley High School district. He attended Gettysburg College in Gettysburg PA, where he developed a love of the sciences graduating with a B.S.in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology. Mr.Bauer expanded his education in Huntington WV, Marshall University's graduate school program in Forensic Science. He further pursued his quest for knowledge by attending Franklin Pierce Law Center in Concord NH (now part of the Univ. of New Hampshire). Mr.Bauer focused his law school training on intellectual property law, namely patents, and became registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 2009. His formal, legal training began in a boutique patent firm in Malvern, PA, where he found himself protecting inventions in a variety of scientific fields, including small molecules, bio
logics, food related technologies, mechanical devices, and many more. This broad experience quickly landed
him in the pharmaceutical industry where he was responsible for actively managing a global patent portfolio of over 1400 patents and patent applications covering various drug-related technologies. Mr.Bauer has also developed acute business acumen. Mr.Bauer's philosophy is to understand the transaction (be it an acquisition, start-up financing, or even a dispute) so his advise is consistent with the business's goal. Among one of his current roles, he serves as of Counsel at RBLegalCounsel LLC.
