Alex Kuo, Ph.D.

Previous Work

Prior to joining ArentFox Schiff, Dr. Kuo worked as a patent agent at a boutique intellectual property firm where he drafted and prosecuted patent applications for complex technologies, and drafted IPR petitions. 

He also worked as a patent agent in a California-based firm where he prosecuted and drafted US and PCT patent applications, and assisted in IP litigation.

Prior to his legal career, Dr. Kuo was a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Michigan.
