James J. Maune, a retired patent attorney with a flair for invention who had been a senior partner of the Baker Botts, LLP firm in New York City, died October 18, 2007 at his Plainview, NY home.
Mr. Maune, who also was a professor of patent law at Hofstra University from 1989 to 1994, died of a heart arrhythmia, family members said. He was 64.
He held several patents, including one for a specialty antenna and microchip system that could determine the position of a football on the playing field, said one of his sons, James Maune Jr. of Bristow, Va. “He was extremely humble, and knew a little bit about everything,” his son said.
Mr. Maune was born on December 10, 1942, in Jackson Heights, Queens, NY. After attending St. Agnes Boys High School in the city, he earned a bachelor’s degree in physics from Manhattan College in 1964 and a master’s degree in electrophysics from Polytechnic Institute in Brooklyn in 1968.
Mr. Maune worked as a development engineer for Wheeler Labs in Great Neck, NY as an engineer for Sedco Systems in Farmingdale, NY and as a senior development engineer for Hazeltine Corp. in Greenlawn, NY.
In 1976, he graduated cum laude from St. John’s University School of Law. Mr. Maune became a lawyer because engineers were being being laid off in the early 1970s, his son James said.
He went on to become a partner in the law firm of Brumbaugh, Graves, Donohue & Raymond in the city, and then a senior partner at Baker Botts Llp.
Mr. Maune was an avid fisherman and hunter. He was an active member of St. Pius X Catholic Church in Plainview and a founding member of the St. Pius X Parish Knights of Columbus chapter.
In addition to his son James, he is survived by his wife of 42 years, Audrey; son Daniel Maune, of Poughquag; daughters Tara Bassette, of Glastonbury, CT, and Tricia Habas, of Nanuet, NY; his mother, Catherine Becker, of Golden, CO; a sister, Catherine Ferrere, also of Golden; and eight grandchildren.
Burial was in St. Charles Cemetery in East Farmingdale.
Donations may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, TN.
