With offices on the Western Slope and the Front Range of Colorado, businesses and individuals regularly engage John Heuton, a registered patent attorney, to handle a range of domestic and international intellectual property procurement and enforcement matters.  John has worked with a variety of individuals, start-ups, and existing companies for nearly twenty years to create strategies that drive revenue and long-term growth.

​

Prior to founding Heuton IP Law, John worked for intellectual property law firms in Manhattan and Denver.  John also gained valuable experience working in-house as intellectual property counsel for a large multinational telecommunications company, allowing him to see the challenges that businesses face through an internal lens.  Today, he uses this valuable insight to offer clients a complete solution – one that protects their intellectual property and establishes a strategic plan for meeting overall business goals and objectives.  Click here to see a list of John's representative matters.

Gajarsa at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.  The Federal Circuit hears all appeals for claims of patent infringement in federal court, among other intellectual property related matters.
