While completing his undergraduate studies, he worked as an engineering assistant for Systems & Processes Engineering Corporation.

Following law school, Mr. Khazen began his career as an associate attorney for Dewey Ballantine LLP. Among the many patent litigation and licensing cases he successfully handled, he defended a client before the International Trade Commission from trial through review on appeal to win a favorable settlement in a highly valued patent case.

He provides representation for clients involved in patent litigation before the US district courts and the International Trade commission, with a concentration on disputes concerning medical device, computer, wireless and processing technologies.
