About Adam L
Adam L Lunceford combines scientific training and legal credentials in a career that crosses laboratories and law offices. He earned a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2008. Three years later he completed his J.D. at the University of California, Davis Law School. Earlier, he received a B.S. in Biochemistry from Brigham Young University in 2000. That academic path set the stage for work that sits at the intersection of life sciences and intellectual property.
Lunceford began his professional life in the private sector. In 2000 he joined Abbott Laboratories as a product specialist in the diagnostics division. The role placed him close to the technical development and commercial aspects of diagnostic products. He later moved into IP work and in 2014 served as in-house patent counsel for Bayer CropScience LP. Those positions gave him experience on both the technical and legal sides of product development and patent portfolios.
He is admitted to practice in Arizona, the District of Columbia, and California. The combination of state and federal admissions supports work that involves patent prosecution and interactions with a range of clients and institutions. Lunceford’s legal training and doctoral-level science background equip him to address patent matters in biotechnology and related fields.
Lunceford’s time in-house exposed him to patent strategy, portfolio management, and cross-functional collaboration with scientists and business teams. At Bayer CropScience he worked within an established corporate structure that regularly balanced global intellectual property priorities and regulatory considerations. His early role at Abbott provided grounding in diagnostic technologies and market-facing product work.
Today he is based at Booth Udall Fuller, PLC. He brings technical depth from his graduate and undergraduate studies and practical IP experience from industry roles to his current legal practice. Colleagues and clients have access to an attorney who understands both scientific detail and the procedural contours of patent law.
He maintains a practice centered on patent prosecution and intellectual property counseling for clients in the life sciences and diagnostics sectors. His current work concentrates on preparing and prosecuting patent applications and advising on IP strategy for scientists and companies.
