Aris Gregorian

Aris Gregorian is a principal and registered patent attorney in the Silicon Valley office of Schwegman Lundberg & Woessner, P.A., which has been named Patent Law Firm of the Year in California, US at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025. The award recognises one of the country's leading intellectual property boutiques and the technical expertise it brings to protecting innovation.

Schwegman Lundberg & Woessner describes itself as a leading intellectual property boutique, with strengths in patents, trademarks and advisory services and offices that include Minneapolis and San Jose. By concentrating exclusively on intellectual property, the firm is able to offer the depth of technical and legal knowledge that patent work demands, particularly for clients operating at the cutting edge of technology in California and beyond.

Mr. Gregorian is based in the firm's San Jose office, at the centre of Silicon Valley, where he works as a registered patent attorney. His path to patent law is grounded in engineering: he earned a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Santa Clara University in 2007, with a concentration in control systems, before obtaining his Juris Doctor from Southwestern University School of Law in 2013. This combination of an engineering degree with legal qualification is the hallmark of patent practitioners, who must understand both the technology they seek to protect and the law that governs it.

Before entering the law, Mr. Gregorian gained direct technical experience in industry. He worked with a Bay Area start-up as a radio-frequency engineer, designing and testing GPS modems, and in the aerospace sector as a systems test engineer. That practical background gives him first-hand insight into the engineering and product development challenges his clients face, an asset when drafting and prosecuting patents in complex electrical, computer and communications technologies.

His standing has been acknowledged through professional recognition, including selection to the Rising Stars list for 2020 through 2024, an honour reserved for a small proportion of attorneys. Such recognition reflects the reputation he has built within the demanding field of patent prosecution and IP advisory work in one of the world's most competitive technology markets.

Patent law sits at the intersection of rapid technological change and rigorous legal procedure, requiring advisers who can translate sophisticated inventions into enforceable rights. In Silicon Valley in particular, where innovation drives the economy, the quality of patent counsel can be decisive for start-ups and established companies alike. Schwegman Lundberg & Woessner's exclusive focus on intellectual property, combined with the engineering-grounded expertise of principals such as Mr. Gregorian, is well matched to that environment.

The firm's recognition as Patent Law Firm of the Year in California, US at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 affirms its position among the leading IP boutiques serving the technology sector. For innovators seeking to secure and protect their inventions, the firm offers specialist, technically informed patent counsel at the heart of Silicon Valley.
