Rita Lari Jochum gave up private practice in 1995 with the intention to spend a year as a volunteer lawyer in the office of Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. Twenty years later, Lari Jochum is still with Grassley, now as his deputy staff director and chief civil and intellectual property counsel on the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, on which Grassley is the chairman.
Lari Jochum’s IP portfolio has been the fulcrum of her many roles, and this year’s patent-reform bill is the fruit of her experience and hard work. Introduced in April by lead sponsor Grassley and a bipartisan cast of Judiciary members, the Patent Act of 2015 takes aim at abusive patent litigation that legislators tried and failed to address through several bills last year.
