On April 20, 2017, Davis Malm hosted and participated in a three-day bootcamp for Springboard Enterprises’ Health Innovation Hub: Life Science Program. Davis Malm shareholders, Sam A. Mawn-Mahlau and Richard L. Sampson, took part in the event, providing opening remarks and participating in the bootcamp’s Intellectual Property roundtable, respectively. Fifteen women-led healthcare and life science companies were chosen to participate in this highly selective program, which included interactive coaching sessions and roundtable discussions.

Mr. Mawn-Mahlau practices in the Business Law area at Davis Malm. He serves as general counsel and advisor to businesses in the technology, finance, and life sciences areas.

Mr. Sampson practices in the Intellectual Property area. He assists clients in obtaining, maintaining, and enforcing patents, trademarks, and copyrights throughout the world. His active patent practice includes providing strategic counseling to clients focused on building patent portfolios, including addressing patent validity, infringement, patentability, and licensing issues, and helping them navigate the complex patent process.
