Frederic M. Douglas
Douglas brings a strong background in both engineering and law to his intellectual property practice. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 1996. He went on to receive his Juris Doctor from the University of California, Davis School of Law in 1999. That same year, he was admitted to the California Bar and became registered to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
While in law school, Douglas served as a judicial intern to Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Gunther. Before entering the legal field, he gained hands-on experience in science and technology through engineering roles at Tosco Refining and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where he focused on semiconductor processing.
Today, Douglas represents clients in a wide range of patent matters. He has led both plaintiff and defense-side patent infringement litigation and continues to maintain an active patent prosecution practice.
