Kelce Wilson

Of Counsel

Dr. Kelce Wilson is a registered U.S. patent attorney and certified information privacy professional in Europe and the U.S. with more than two decades of experience in the preparation and prosecution of patent applications, litigation, licensing, acquisitions and invention harvesting. He has distinctive expertise in Standard Essential Patents (SEPs), with experience that includes operating a SEP program for an industry leading company in telecommunications. Additionally, he brings more than a dozen years of engineering experience, having worked with some of the most complex technologies currently on the market. His expertise also extends to the patent secrecy order process, as well as privacy, data protection and cybersecurity.

Dr. Wilson has represented clients both as outside counsel at notable law firms and as in-house counsel to companies in the technology sector. His unique experience serving in the U.S. Air Force, his extensive education, and his multifaceted legal background enable him to provide clients with deeply established counsel for complex and highly technical issues.

Over the course of his career, Dr. Wilson has worked with advanced military technologies, such as surveillance and tracking radars, radar jammers and stealth aircraft, first on active duty and then as a reservist, retiring with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He has completed the impossible – solving math problems that were previously considered unsolvable by other Ph.D. researchers and therefore preventing the development or deployment of important military projects. This accomplishment earned him the Reservist of the Year award from the U.S. Air Force, and he has also earned a commendation from a three-letter U.S. national intelligence agency.

Dr. Wilson has worked for several years as an adjunct professor of electrical engineering, teaching graduate-level courses and authoring coursework materials. He recently published his first book, “Effective Patents: How to Obtain and Leverage Patents that Provide Real Value

Outside of work, Dr. Wilson enjoys spending time with his daughters and getting back to nature by hiking, camping and exploring different wilderness areas and U.S. national parks.
