AnneMarie Kaiser, a partner of San Diego's oldest and largest Intellectual Property law firm, Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear, has been nominated for UCSD's Athena Pinnacle Awards for her outstanding contributions to San Diego's technology sector.

The annual Pinnacle Awards are awarded to leaders that foster Athena's vision of personal and professional growth.
