About Scott
Scott Weston earned a B.S. from the University of Michigan in 1998 and completed his J.D. at Wayne State University Law School in 2003. He took the conventional path from undergraduate study into law school, finishing his legal training in the early 2000s. That educational foundation put him on a path toward work at the intersection of legal practice and technical regulation.
He is admitted to practice in Massachusetts and is registered to appear before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Those credentials shape the kinds of matters he handles and the clients who seek his counsel. Over time he has developed professional experience that aligns with the administrative and technical demands common in intellectual property work.
Weston serves as a partner at Cooley Godward Kronish LLP. In that role he works alongside teams that manage client relationships, supervise litigation or prosecution matters, and guide filings and strategy. His position as partner signals long-term involvement in firm-level decision-making and client service, including mentoring junior lawyers and helping coordinate multidisciplinary efforts when cases or transactions require it.
Colleagues and clients encountering him in day-to-day matters will find an attorney who understands both legal process and the procedural framework that governs patent practice in the United States. Registration with the Patent and Trademark Office is a practical credential; it permits him to file and argue patent applications for clients, and to engage on matters that require familiarity with USPTO rules and practice.
Weston’s career path mirrors a common route for lawyers who bridge law and technology: an undergraduate science or engineering background followed by legal training and then registration at the federal patent office. His work at Cooley Godward Kronish LLP places him in a firm environment where business and innovation clients frequently need counsel on intellectual property, filings and related regulatory questions.
He has been active in practice since completing his legal education in 2003 and has maintained the professional registrations that enable work before state courts in Massachusetts and administrative proceedings at the USPTO. He currently practices in Massachusetts and before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
