About Dr. Roz
Dr. Roz Maiorino trained first as a physician. She earned an M.D. from George Washington University’s Mount Vernon campus in 1997 and later returned to school to study law. She completed her J.D. at The Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law in 2003.
Her career moved from clinical medicine into intellectual property soon after law school. She served as a patent examiner at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, where she reviewed patent applications and worked through prior art and examination practice. That experience gave her a direct view of the examination process and the procedural realities of patent prosecution.
After the USPTO she entered private practice. She is Of Counsel at G2Z Law Office. She is admitted to practice in Maryland and Colorado. Her dual training in medicine and law informs the questions she raises during examination and the way she evaluates technical disclosures.
Colleagues say she brings a methodical approach to complex technical problems. Her background in medicine allows her to read clinical and scientific disclosures with facility. She has worked on patent matters that require interpreting medical language, experimental data and regulatory considerations. Her time at the USPTO often shapes the engagement strategy she recommends to clients and helps her anticipate examiner positions.
Her practice balances prosecution and counseling. She drafts and responds to patent applications, prepares office-action responses, and advises on strategy for protecting inventions that touch on biomedical technology. She serves clients from early-stage inventors to organizations that need technical insight alongside legal analysis. Her current practice centers on patent prosecution and other intellectual property matters.
