GPC began with Alexander I. Poltorak, a Russian physicist who emigrated to the United States in 1982. Poltorak was drawn to intellectual property law after teaching biomathematics at Cornell University and owning his own computer company. In 1987 he founded GPC, where he now serves as chairman and chief executive officer. More information about GPC’s senior officers can be found by clicking on the links above.
