Scott A. Cromer is an associate in the Orange County office of Knobbe Martens. He is a patent attorney registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and he practices intellectual property law, with a focus on IP counseling and patent preparation and prosecution. Scott became a patent agent in 2009, and has interests and expertise across a variety of fields and technologies, including software, computers, medical devices, electronics, and mechanical devices.
Before attending graduate school, Scott spent six months as a design support intern at a leading pure-play semiconductor foundry, Jazz Semiconductor (now TowerJazz). There, Scott developed new methods of evaluating foundry device models, and gained insights into the semiconductor industry. He then received his master’s degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. As a researcher at Illinois he developed his understanding of circuit synthesis and computer programming.
Scott attended the University of Illinois College of Law where he was a member of the Intellectual Property Law Society and was awarded the Joseph M. Barich Excellence in Patent Law Award for demonstrated accomplishment in patent law. He also served as the Internet Editor of the University of Illinois Law Review, and was instrumental in establishing a modern internet presence for the publication.

Professor Lawless administers and contributes to the blog Credit Slips, a discussion on credit, finance, and bankruptcy.
