About Jeremy Allan
Jeremy Allan Briggs combines a technical education with legal training. He earned a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2011. He then studied law at Georgia State University College of Law and received his J.D. in 2016, where he concentrated on intellectual property law. The shift from circuits and systems to statutes and claims came naturally for him.
Early in his career he gained hands-on experience at Finnegan Henderson, serving as a patent agent and student associate in 2012. That role placed him inside a large intellectual property practice at a formative time. He worked alongside patent lawyers and agents on matters that required translating technical concepts into legal documents. The experience provided practical exposure to patent prosecution workflows and the drafting of technical disclosures for protection.
Briggs is admitted to practice in Georgia and is registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Those credentials reflect the two strands of his training: electrical engineering and patent law. Colleagues and clients have noted that connection between technical fluency and legal skill makes for a pragmatic approach to assessing inventiveness and claim scope. He applies engineering judgment when analyzing prior art and drafting specification language, and he applies legal judgment when mapping those analyses into patent claims.
After gaining experience in a large firm environment, Briggs established his own practice under the name Briggs Intellectual Property Law. He set up that office to provide patent counseling and related services to inventors, small companies and technology teams. The practice handles patent preparation and prosecution, opinions on patentability and freedom-to-operate questions, and strategic advice on building intellectual property portfolios. He approaches each matter by breaking technical problems down into discrete legal issues and resolving them through careful claim drafting and procedural strategy.
Outside of client work, Briggs maintains professional connections in the patent community. He participates in professional groups and keeps current on changes at the Patent Office and developments in patent jurisprudence. His background in electrical engineering continues to inform the kinds of technologies he routinely handles. He now practices at Briggs Intellectual Property Law, where his work centers on patent prosecution and related intellectual property matters.
