Joseph Hajjar works with clients in the technical fields of mechanical and biomedical engineering, encompassing medical device technology, electromechanical devices, rechargeable batteries, additive manufacturing techniques, and consumer products.  His practice encompasses several areas of intellectual property law, including U.S. and foreign patent prosecution as well as conducting freedom to operate and patentability investigations.  Joseph has years of experience counseling both large and small companies through various stages of product development, including identification of patentable features and ideas, procurement of patent rights covering client products and/or third party products, and minimizing risk of third party litigation.

He first gained an inside perspective on patent prosecution while participating in the Patent Experience Externship Program at the USPTO.  After a USPTO crash course on patent examination and examining applications on combustion engines and rocket propulsion, Joseph gained valuable insight on analyzing novel technology and understanding how examiners think, which he uses advantageously in the course of prosecution.

He also learned how to work effectively and efficiently with a diverse group of clients through his pro bono work in law school.  He was a member of the Health Justice Clinic where he assisted clients and their families with healthcare directives and insurance claims.  Joseph also volunteered for the Essex County Legal Aid Association where he assisted attorneys in advising low-income tenants facing legal action against their landlords.

Joseph expressed a strong interest in intellectual property throughout law school, earning the Intellectual Property Law Concentration in his studies while serving as Vice President of the Intellectual Property Law Association to foster an interest in others.  He further honed his research and writing skills as an associate editor of the Seton Hall Circuit Review law journal.
