About Mr. Patrick C
Mr. Patrick C Kilgore earned his Juris Doctor from Boston University School of Law in 2012 after beginning his legal studies in 2009. He combined legal training with technical exposure early on. While still in school, he worked as an Intellectual Property and Licensing Analyst at Boston University in 2010. That role gave him hands-on experience in the intersection of research, technology transfer and the legal processes that govern intellectual property.
After law school, Kilgore moved into private practice. In 2013 he joined Rakoczy Molino Mazzochi Siwik LLP as an associate. Records show he has maintained membership in the Chicago Bar Association since 2013. He is also a member of the American Chemical Society, a sign that his professional interests extend into scientific fields as well as law. He is admitted to practice in both Illinois and Massachusetts and is registered as a patent lawyer with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Colleagues describe Kilgore as methodical. He approaches client matters by parsing technical details and translating them into legal strategies. His early work at a university technology transfer office exposed him to patent prosecution and licensing matters. That experience appears to have shaped the early arc of his practice and his decision to seek USPTO registration.
At Rakoczy Molino Mazzochi Siwik LLP, Kilgore has worked on matters that require coordination between inventors, counsel and business teams. He has handled patent-related filings and analyzed licensing arrangements. The combination of legal training and membership in a major scientific society has informed his ability to read technical disclosures and advise on protectable subject matter.
Outside the firm, Kilgore’s association memberships suggest an effort to stay current in both legal and scientific communities. The Chicago Bar Association provides legal networking and professional development opportunities in the region where he practices. The American Chemical Society connects him to developments and practitioners in chemistry and related sciences, an asset when evaluating patentable inventions in those areas.
He maintains a practice at Rakoczy Molino Mazzochi Siwik LLP and is registered before the USPTO as a patent lawyer. He handles patent and intellectual property matters in Illinois and Massachusetts and continues to combine legal training with technical understanding in his daily work.
