With several U.S. and foreign patents to his name, he is as comfortable on the manufacturing shop floor as he is at a research symposium. He has hands-on experience across a broad spectrum of fields, from biopolymers and polymer solution chemistry to electric generators and automotive components.

Scott has been with the firm since 2007 and has developed expertise in a variety of technologies, including laser-based manufacturing processes, nanomaterials and nanotechnology, and microfabricated devices. His practice fortes include patent preparation, domestic and foreign patent prosecution, clearance opinions, all areas of trademark, and copyright registration and licensing.
