Fish & Richardson announced today that four principals – including Corrin Drakulich in the Atlanta office – have been named recipients of the 2017 “Women Worth Watching” award and are featured in a special issue of Profiles in Diversity Journal (PDJ).According to PDJ, “these women are forging ahead with global acclaim in strategies that are making a difference in their workplace, marketplace and around the world.”
Drakulich specializes in intellectual property litigation. She has successfully represented plaintiffs and defendants in patent cases spanning a wide range of technologies, including medical devices, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, healthcare technology, turbocharger design, and manufacturing technology. Other areas of expertise include trademark litigation and product liability litigation for medical devices. Drakulich is the hiring principal for the Atlanta office. She received her J.D. from University of California, Berkeley (Boalt Hall) in 2007 where she was the Editor-in-Chief of the Berkeley Technology Law Journal, and her B.S., summa cum laude, in microbiology from University of Georgia in 2004.
The other principals include Donna Balaguer (Washington, D.C.) who advises clients on the full range of privacy and data security laws and best practices; Janis Fraser, Ph.D., (Boston), a scientist-turned-lawyer who specializes in finding practical solutions to biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies’ most challenging patent issues; and Sheryl Koval Garko (Boston) who focuses on intellectual property litigation with a particular emphasis on trademark, copyright, trade secret, and media litigation.
