Career

A partner in Goodwin’s Life Sciences group and Intellectual Property practice, Michael Siekman focuses his practice on intellectual property matters, including patent prosecution, licensing and post-grant proceedings and litigation. Leveraging over 25 years of experience, Michael has built in-depth patent portfolios, particularly advising clients in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.

Michael keeps clients’ business goals in mind as he regularly provides legal counsel in the litigation matters, including Hatch-Waxman matters, and post-grant solutions for biosimilars. He has successfully led matters before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and the European Patent Office. His transactional practice involves licensing agreements, collaboration agreements, and IP-related aspects of mergers, acquisitions, IPOs and other financings.

Michael has extensive experience with biosimilars and has written and presented often on the topic.  One of his biosimilar articles has been cited in three amicus briefs to the Supreme Court in two cases involving the PTAB.

As a parent of a child with Type 1 diabetes, Michael particularly enjoys working with biopharma and device companies in that space.
