Overview

Jon 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, electrocatalysis, photovoltaics, nanotechnology, microfluidics, medical devices, biosensors, material compositions, and HVAC systems.

Jon enjoys learning about clients’ new scientific inventions, helping build out IP portfolios, and developing creative and broad-coverage patent protection. His experience includes drafting applications, responding to office actions, supporting diligences, and performing patentability and freedom-to-operate searches.

Prior to joining Wolf Greenfield, Jon completed his PhD in chemistry at the University of Texas at Austin. During his doctoral studies, Jon 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, Jon has worked as an environmental health sciences intern at a scientific and technology management consulting firm, where he assisted with the systematic review process on various EPA-funded projects and helped draft chemistry appendices for the National Toxicology Program.
