LAWRENCE “LARRY” A. MAXHAM, J.D., BSEE

With a heavy heart, we announce the passing of Lawrence “Larry” A. Maxham, a beloved father, devoted husband, cherished friend, and esteemed colleague. A true renaissance man, Larry’s passion for life was matched only by his dedication to the field of intellectual property law.

As an avid golfer and patent attorney extraordinaire, Larry’s presence graced the corridors of the San Diego Patent Law Association long before its transformation into the San Diego Intellectual Property Law Association. Throughout his illustrious career, Larry’s practice showcased remarkable diversity, with a significant focus on preparing patent and trademark applications that offered his clients unparalleled legal protection on a global scale.

Larry’s expansive network of contacts with Intellectual Property attorneys worldwide allowed him to secure the highest legal representation for his clients in their international pursuits. He took great pleasure in meeting with foreign attorneys, ensuring they were best suited to handle his clients’ specific needs and fostering meaningful relationships across borders.
