About Scott
Scott Nyman earned a law degree from Nova Southeastern University in 2009 after completing an undergraduate degree in electrical and computer engineering at Ohio State University in 2006. The combination of technical training and legal education shaped a career that bridges engineering and intellectual property law.
He began his professional path on the technical side, grounded in electrical and computer engineering. That background informed a transition into patent practice. He earned registration as a patent lawyer through the United States Patent and Trademark Office and moved into roles that paired technical know-how with patent prosecution and portfolio strategy.
Nyman is a founding member of Nyman IP LLC. He also serves Of Counsel at Chiacchio IP, LLC. In those roles he has handled patent filings, drafted claims, and counseled clients on protection strategies for inventions rooted in electrical and computer technologies. He works across prosecution and client advising rather than litigation on the courtroom floor.
He is admitted to practice in Illinois and Florida. His USPTO registration allows him to prepare and prosecute patent applications before the federal patent office. He is listed as current with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and maintains membership in the Chicago Bar Association.
Colleagues describe his approach as methodical. He breaks complex technical concepts into their legal essentials. That helps when drafting claims that aim to capture inventive steps while meeting statutory requirements. He has worked with inventors and companies to shape early-stage filings and to refine later prosecution strategy when applications are examined.
His dual background in engineering and law informs how he evaluates inventions. He reads specifications with an engineer’s eye and converts technical detail into patent language. That practical orientation guides client conversations about patent scope, prior art, and prosecution options.
Outside the office he has stayed connected to professional circles related to patent practice and bar activities. He maintains memberships that keep him engaged with changes at the Patent Office and with regional legal developments in Chicago.
He practices from offices affiliated with Nyman IP LLC and Chiacchio IP, LLC. His current practice concentrates on patent prosecution and counseling for electrical and computer technology inventions.
