Clyde Findley is a seasoned attorney who specializes in patent litigation at both the trial and appellate levels.

Using that wide-ranging experience, Findley provides counseling and advice on technical and business issues affecting his clients, as well as a wide range of legal matters. Before joining Cloudigy Law, Findley was a litigator in the Washington, DC offices of Kenyon & Kenyon and Crowell & Moring. Read more about Clyde.
