About Scott
Scott Reichle began his professional life in engineering before moving into law. He earned a Bachelor of Science from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 1985 and a Master of Science from Old Dominion University in 1991. He completed his legal education at Loyola University New Orleans, receiving his J.D. in 1993. The sequence of degrees marks a deliberate shift: technical training first, legal training soon after.
His early years were shaped by technical study and problem solving. That background informed his decision to pursue a law degree and steered him toward intellectual property work. After law school he entered practice in areas where technical understanding matters. Over time his career moved toward patent law, a field that blends legal analysis with engineering concepts.
By 2010 Reichle was a partner at Patten, Wornom, Hatten & Diamonstein. The partnership reflected years of work on patent matters and related legal issues. At the firm he has combined technical knowledge with legal practice. Colleagues and clients often rely on his ability to explain technical details in legal terms. He has handled matters that require translating engineering concepts into patent claims and legal briefs.
Reichle is registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office as a licensed patent lawyer. That registration permits him to represent clients before the USPTO in patent prosecution and related proceedings. His academic record in engineering and subsequent legal training provide a framework for counseling inventors and businesses on patent strategy, preparation of patent applications, and prosecution before the patent office.
Outside the office his experience reflects the path from engineering classrooms to legal practice. He has navigated the technical and procedural demands that come with preparing patent applications. He also brings practical experience from work within a law firm environment, where client counseling, deadline management and technical drafting are part of the daily routine.
Today Reichle practices at Patten, Wornom, Hatten & Diamonstein. He is a partner who works on patent matters, representing clients before the USPTO and advising on patent-related issues. He currently focuses on patent prosecution and client counseling at the firm.
