In Memoriam: Dan Monaco

Our friend and partner Dan Monaco passed away on August 2, 2017, after a brief illness.

Dan was a partner in our Intellectual Property Practice Group, having joined us from the Philadelphia IP firm Seidel, Gonda, Lavorgna & Monaco, P.C., which combined with Drinker Biddle in 2001. He was a distinguished registered patent attorney since 1981, having prepared and prosecuted hundreds of applications, primarily in chemistry and biotechnology, for a variety of business and academic clients. Dan also counseled clients extensively on international patent protection, working through an expansive network of overseas associates.
