As a patent agent, Jenna Logsdon supports our chemical and pharmaceutical patent team with application drafting, prosecution strategy, and portfolio management.

She prepares U.S. and international patent filings, responds to office actions, and works closely with inventors and in-house counsel to develop tailored protection strategies. Her technical fluency and litigation experience contribute to strong, forward-looking patent portfolios for companies and inventors alike.

Jenna previously worked at two leading intellectual property firms and holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Northwestern University. Her graduate research, recognized with a National Science Foundation Fellowship, focused on charge-transfer dynamics in solar energy systems. That foundation - combined with hands-on patent drafting in fields ranging from small molecules to advanced materials - makes her a thoughtful and trusted resource for innovators working at the intersection of science and law.
