Instinctively IP serves tech startups, individual inventors, growth-stage companies, and defense contractors with patent counsel that goes deeper than the law — built on 16 years of actual engineering practice. Drawing on this technical foundation, Instinctively IP focuses on AI, robotics, telecommunications, RF systems, radar and defense electronics, electro-optical systems, semiconductors, medical devices, clean energy, and quantum computing, with experience spanning the full breadth of electrical and electronic innovation. If your technology involves engineering, we want to hear about it.
BSEE (Biomedical Specialty) · MSEE (Telecom Specialty) · JD · MS Finance & Economics · CLP. With undergraduate biomedical training, graduate-level telecommunications expertise, hands-on semiconductor exposure through coursework and an engineering internship, 16 years of practice across radar systems, electro-optical systems, RF circuits, telecom architectures, robotic test equipment, and embedded server systems — and a Certified Licensing Professional (CLP) credential in IP licensing and commercialization — your invention is understood from the first conversation, not the fifth.
Most patent attorneys encounter your technology through client meetings and spec sheets. At Instinctively IP, we spent 16 years building it. Whether your invention lives in a radar or electro-optical system, an RF circuit, a telecom protocol stack, a robotic platform, a semiconductor architecture, or a power converter — we approach every matter with the instinct of a practitioner who has worked at the component level. The listed technology areas reflect where we have the deepest direct experience. But the core skill — understanding an invention well enough to protect it with claims that hold — travels across the full landscape of electrical and electronic engineering. If you are unsure whether your technology is a fit, reach out. The first conversation is complimentary and the answer is almost always yes.
That depth is not accidental. A BSEE with a biomedical specialty means medical device inventors are speaking to someone who studied their field foundationally. An MSEE with a telecommunications specialty means RF, wireless, and telecom inventors are working with an attorney who has graduate-level fluency in their domain from day one. Undergraduate coursework in semiconductor design combined with hands-on internship experience means chip and IC designers are not spending the first three meetings explaining basic concepts. And 16 years of hands-on engineering practice means the foundational instinct — understanding how complex systems are built, how they fail, and where the genuine novelty lives — carries naturally across every technology field we serve.
Instinctively IP works with four types of clients across a wide range of technology fields. What they share is a commitment to genuine innovation — and a need for counsel who brings both engineering depth and legal craftsmanship to their IP.
Building something new and need an IP foundation before your next funding round — without the overhead of a large firm. Whether your technology is AI, hardware, software, medical devices, clean energy, or something else entirely, if it involves engineering we can help protect it.
Start a conversation →A technically sophisticated invention that deserves serious protection — and an attorney who actually understands what you built, regardless of entity size or technology field. No invention is too niche or too novel for a genuine conversation.
Start a conversation →Past early-stage and building a portfolio that needs to perform — in licensing, M&A due diligence, or competitive defense. Senior counsel with the engineering depth and economic perspective to handle technically complex matters across any field of technology.
Start a conversation →Radar systems, electro-optical platforms, defense electronics, and aerospace technology require an attorney who has operated at the system and component level — not one encountering the technology for the first time in a conference room. With direct hands-on experience in radar system integration, electro-optical fault isolation, and RF circuit troubleshooting, Instinctively IP brings a level of technical credibility to the defense and aerospace IP space that sets it apart from other boutique practitioners.
Start a conversation →Instinctively IP covers every dimension of intellectual property protection, from patent drafting and prosecution through trademark, copyright, trade secret advisory, and licensing strategy.
Applications drafted with engineering-level technical depth and nine years of prosecution strategy.
Full prosecution lifecycle — clearance, filing, office action response, and registration.
Licensing structures, trade secret protection, and patent monetization grounded in economic analysis.
Don't see your technology listed? Reach out anyway. The ten primary fields reflect the areas where degree-level technical specialization — biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, telecommunications, and semiconductors — creates the deepest fluency. But the answer is almost always yes. The initial 1 hour consultation is complimentary.
