About Walker
Walker Weitzel combines a technical background in engineering with a legal education in intellectual property. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Seattle University in 2005. He later attended Seattle University School of Law and received his J.D. in 2013, where he concentrated his studies on intellectual property law.
Before law school, Weitzel trained as an engineer. That foundation informs how he evaluates inventions and drafts patent applications. He is a registered patent lawyer with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and he is admitted to practice in Washington.
In 2015 he founded Alloy Patent Law. He has served as a patent lawyer and the firm’s principal since then. His work centers on preparing and prosecuting patent applications, advising on patentability, and helping clients develop and manage patent portfolios. He handles matters for individual inventors and for business clients across a range of technical areas tied to mechanical and electro-mechanical inventions.
Colleagues and clients describe his practice as practical and detail-oriented. He writes claims and prepares specifications that reflect both engineering realities and legal requirements. He also conducts prior art searches and prepares opinions that support filing strategies and business decisions. His engineering training allows him to translate technical concepts into the precise language required by patent offices.
Outside the office, Weitzel maintains professional memberships that relate to patent law and continuing legal education. He keeps current on patent office practice and procedural changes that affect prosecution strategy. He currently practices at Alloy Patent Law, advising clients on patent procurement, prosecution, and related intellectual property matters.
