Brandon is a patent attorney whose practice sits at the intersection of life sciences, medical devices, and emerging technology. He represents clients across the full spectrum, from solo inventors and early-stage startups building their first portfolios to multinational corporations managing complex global patent strategies, and serves as a practical bridge between research, engineering, manufacturing, clinical, and business teams.
Before practicing law, Brandon spent several years as a medical device professional working directly in the operating room, supporting the use of devices during surgical procedures. That firsthand clinical experience gives him a ground-level understanding of how devices are designed, manufactured, and used in practice, and allows him to translate complex scientific and engineering details into actionable legal, regulatory, and business strategies. His technical depth spans medical devices, bioinformatics, musculoskeletal tissue engineering, financial technologies, consumer products, and other emerging technology areas.
Brandon is also an active contributor to Troutman Pepper Locke’s industry-leading artificial intelligence initiative, working on the deployment of tools that support patent drafting, portfolio analysis, and IP due diligence. He advises clients directly on AI-related patent strategy, product development, and risk management, with focused experience in bioinformatics and AI-driven healthcare processes. He has presented the firm’s AI strategy and capabilities to both industry and academic audiences.
Rounding out his practice, Brandon handles technology-driven e-commerce and online marketplace disputes, including Schedule A litigation in the Northern District of Illinois and the Southern District of Florida.
