About R. Devin
R. Devin Ricci earned a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry from Louisiana State University in 2009 and a Juris Doctor from the Paul M. Hebert Law Center at LSU in 2012. His academic background pairs a scientific undergraduate degree with a law degree from the same university system. That combination shaped the early direction of his legal work.
He joined Kean Miller LLP in 2012. Records list him as a partner there. At a young stage in his legal career he combined scientific training and legal credentialing to enter practice in an area that often requires both technical and legal knowledge.
Ricci is a registered patent lawyer with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. He is admitted to practice in Louisiana and in all Louisiana federal district courts. Those credentials enable him to handle patent prosecution before the USPTO and to represent clients in related federal litigation when matters arise in the state’s district courts.
Memberships in professional organizations reflect both his legal and scientific interests. He holds current memberships in the Baton Rouge Bar Association, the Louisiana State Bar Association and the American Bar Association. He also maintains membership in the American Chemical Society. That affiliation with a scientific society underscores the link between his undergraduate training and his patent practice.
At Kean Miller LLP, Ricci has worked on matters that draw on his technical background and his registration at the Patent Office. He advises on patent applications and on procedural matters before the USPTO. He also handles aspects of intellectual property that intersect with federal practice, relying on admission to federal district courts in Louisiana when contested issues move beyond the agency.
Colleagues describe him as someone who brings technical familiarity to patent file work and to the procedural demands of federal practice. He combines experience in patent prosecution with membership in local and national bar groups that keep lawyers connected to developments in law and practice.
He maintains an active role at Kean Miller LLP. He concentrates his practice on patent prosecution and related intellectual property matters.
