About me - John R. Nelson, P.E., Esquire

I am a registered patent attorney licensed to practice before the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO). I focus on providing affordable, flat fee, patent solutions to my clients. You have a budget up front and can determine the value of your invention. I have an undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering and an MBA. Before entering the field of Intellectual Property Law, I practiced engineering in the specialty chemicals and environmental fields. At the same time, I started an aviation software company which I sold in 2006. I continue to develop software solutions and write code for web and mobile applications. I have advanced knowledge of SQL, Java, C#, Json, and other languages. My unique perspective as a Patent Attorney with practical experience as an Engineer and Software Developer will help ensure I that your invention is properly detailed in your patent application.

Experience

As a longtime competitive athlete, including being a member of the Gator track team and an avid long-distance bicyclist, I understand that success requires planning, building, and execution. The same applies to my legal philosophy and as a client advocate. I am an expert software developer and has used those skills to start and sell three applications, having one application used by hundreds of multi-million dollar businesses. As a Professional Engineer, I wrote one of the first CAAA1990 Title V Air Permits approved by the state of South Carolina in addition to using his engineering expertise to improve chemical process operations and have multi-million dollar impacts on profitability.

Outside the law, I enjoy spending time with my daughters and three sons, working out, road cycling, flying airplanes, and challenging myself with new experiences. I have been a member of the Volusia County ECHO Board and is an active leader in my sons’ cub scout and boy scout packs.
