About Flann
Flann Lippincott is an intellectual property lawyer whose academic credentials pair courtroom training with technical study. He earned a J.D. from Rutgers School of Law–Newark after completing an M.S. in Intellectual Property at Seton Hall University School of Law. That combination shaped a methodical approach to problems that sit at the intersection of law, technology and business.
His formal education was not purely theoretical. The M.S. program at Seton Hall emphasized the mechanics of patent law and the technical underpinnings that patent work demands. At Rutgers, he took the standard law school curriculum and applied it through courses and clinics that address intellectual property questions. The two degrees together gave him both doctrinal grounding and an ability to follow technical subject matter closely.
Lippincott’s professional path has remained rooted in intellectual property practice. Over the years he has worked on matters that require translating complex technical concepts into legal arguments and filings. That work has involved counseling clients, preparing and prosecuting filings before appropriate authorities, and advising on licensing and commercial arrangements where intellectual property plays a central role. He has also supported outside counsel and in-house teams on strategy and risk assessment tied to IP assets.
Colleagues describe his approach as pragmatic. He tends to break large issues into concrete steps. He favours clear explanations over dense legalese. This style can help clients understand options and trade-offs when they are deciding whether to pursue protection, how to budget for prosecution, or how to structure agreements that touch on patents or trademarks. He also prepares technical materials and briefs intended to communicate effectively to examiners, opposing counsel, or business stakeholders.
He practices at Lippincott IP LLC, where he continues to work on intellectual property matters for a range of clients. His current practice centers on intellectual property counseling, prosecution and related transactions at Lippincott IP LLC.
