Overview

Jonathan Thompson assists the firm in patent prosecution in areas related to chemistry and materials science. He utilizes his broad technical experience to regularly support clients in areas such as energy storage devices, electrocatalytic devices, nanotechnology, microfluidic devices, medical devices, analytical devices, and HVAC systems.

Jonathan enjoys learning about clients’ new scientific inventions, helping build out IP portfolios, and assisting with bringing value through creative and broad-coverage patent prosecution. His experience includes drafting applications, responding to office actions, and performing patentability and freedom-to-operate searches.

Prior to joining Wolf Greenfield, Jonathan completed his PhD in chemistry at University of Texas at Austin. During his doctoral studies, Jonathan served as a graduate research fellow, where he developed two electrochemical approaches for membrane-free separations, a microfluidic device for manipulating contents contained within microdroplets, and a new analytical platform for studying nanoparticle stability.

In addition, Jonathan has worked as an environmental health sciences intern at ICF International, where he assisted with the systematic review process on various EPA-funded projects and helped draft chemistry appendices for the National Toxicology Program.
