About Raz
Raz Messerian blends technical training and legal training in a way that shapes his work on intellectual property. He earned both a B.S. and an M.S. in electrical engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles before turning to law at Loyola Law School, Los Angeles. That sequence informs how he evaluates inventions and drafts legal protections for them. The mix of engineering and law is central to his approach.
After law school, Messerian moved into the field of patent law. He is a registered patent lawyer with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and practices in California. His technical background in electrical engineering complements the procedural and substantive requirements of prosecuting patent applications. He is able to read technical disclosures and translate them into the legal documents the patent office requires.
Messerian’s education gave him the tools to handle complex technical subject matter. The engineering degrees from UCLA provided grounding in circuit theory, systems and design. The legal training at Loyola sharpened his ability to frame invention claims and manage the legal record. Together, those credentials allow him to work on patent matters where technical detail and legal precision intersect.
In practice, Messerian handles patent prosecution and related intellectual property tasks. He prepares and files patent applications, responds to office actions, and advises on claim scope. He also counsels clients on strategies to protect technological developments and to build or manage patent portfolios. As a practitioner admitted to the California bar, he conducts his work from within the state’s legal framework and communicates regularly with inventors, engineers and corporate clients.
Outside casework, Messerian maintains professional ties in the Los Angeles legal community. He holds membership in the Los Angeles County Bar Association. That affiliation connects him to colleagues across practice areas and provides access to resources on emerging issues in intellectual property and practice management.
Messerian’s trajectory — electrical engineering degrees followed by a J.D. and USPTO registration — positions him as a practitioner who can bridge technical and legal conversations. He works in California handling patent matters for clients who need technical expertise applied to legal protection. He currently concentrates his practice on patent prosecution and advising clients on intellectual property matters.
