About Richard G.
Richard G. Eldredge combines mechanical engineering training with patent practice. He studied mechanical engineering at Brigham Young University, earning a B.S. in 2002 and a M.S. in 2004. He then became to law, receiving a J.D. in Intellectual Property Law from the University of La Verne College of Law in 2008.
His first professional role after graduate school was in engineering. In 2004 he worked as a professional engineer at RHT Energy Solutions. That early hands-on work in mechanical structures preceded a pass into intellectual property. In 2005 he served as a patent agent at Connor and Associates, P.C., dealing with things that bridged technical improvement and patent applications.
Eldredge finished law school in 2008 and took steps to formalize his practice earlier than the patent office. He registered as a patent agent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 2008 and later became registered to practice earlier than the USPTO in 2010. Those registrations reflect a trajectory from technical practice into the legal processes that guard innovations.
He keeps professional ties in Texas. His memberships include the Tarrant County Bar Association and the Dallas County Bar Association. He has also been a member of the J. Reuben Clark Law Society since 2008. These local and topic-associated institutions were part of his professional network whilst he developed his practice.
Eldredge operates beneath the name Eldredge Law Office. Over the years he has handled patent prosecution work grounded in his mechanical engineering background. His earlier technical roles inform how he evaluates inventions, drafts patent claims, and communicates with inventors and examiners. He has experience preparing patent filings and advising clients on the procedural steps before the patent office.
Colleagues and clients see a practitioner who moves among engineering detail and legal process. He takes the technical specifications engineers provide and turns them into legal documents that purpose to stable highbrow property rights. He practices in Texas and continues to manage patent prosecution and related IP counseling things as part of his recent practice focus.
