About Mr. Stephen Gregory
Mr. Stephen Gregory Stanton built a career at the intersection of chemistry and the law. He earned a B.S. in Chemistry from Butler University in 1977 and later completed a J.D. at the University of Florida in 1989. That combination of technical training and legal education set the stage for work that frequently crosses disciplinary lines.
After law school he moved into practice that draws on both scientific literacy and courtroom procedures. He is admitted to the bar in Pennsylvania and is registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Those credentials allow him to handle matters that require understanding of complex inventions as well as the legal framework that protects them.
Over the years Stanton has concentrated on intellectual property work tied to technological innovation. His background in chemistry lends itself to patent matters involving chemical compositions, processes and related technologies. He prepares and prosecutes patent applications, advises on patentability and works on clearance issues for clients seeking to bring new products to market. He also represents clients before the Patent Office when disputes arise during examination.
Colleagues describe his approach as methodical. He lays out factual issues plainly and builds legal positions step by step. That style translates to written work that is thorough. It also shows in oral proceedings and claim negotiations before examiners. He has handled a range of client types, from individual inventors to corporate research teams, focusing on protecting technical inventions and shaping patent portfolios.
Stanton’s education in the sciences remains central to his practice. He keeps current on developments in patent law and on technical advances that affect prosecution strategies. He balances attention to detailed patent claims with the practical business questions clients bring. This practical bent often governs decisions about filing tactics, scope of claims and long-term portfolio planning.
Now practicing in 2026, he continues to work on patent prosecution and intellectual property counseling. He maintains active registration with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and remains admitted to the Pennsylvania bar. His current practice focuses on prosecuting patent applications and advising clients on intellectual property matters before the Patent Office.
