Peter D Keefe

Peter is an attorney registered to practice with the State Bar of Michigan (P29657 since 1978) and a patent attorney registered to practice with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (31,114 since 1983). He has also been a member of the Engineering Society of Detroit since 1980.

While teaching physics at University of Detroit, Peter set-up his own firm, Keefe and Associates, in Eastpointe, Michigan. Passionate for the individual inventor, he championed their inventive aspirations with sage advice and friendly mentorship.

Peter took his passion for inventor assistance to new heights when he became outside patent counsel to General Motors Corporation. As it turned out, GM’s engineer inventors needed just as much mentoring as his individual clients!
