Biography

Emily Fraser develops thoughtful patent strategies that align with clients’ broader business objectives. As a registered patent agent with a background in neurobiology, Emily utilizes her technical expertise to help convert new technologies into valuable intellectual property assets. Emily works closely with companies at all stages of growth to secure and build their patent portfolio and support their commercial goals.

In her practice, Emily prepares and prosecutes patent applications across a myriad of technical areas. Emily collaborates with clients and inventors to construct claims that capture the novelty of innovations in both utility and design patent matters. Emily appreciates the nuances of prosecution, and enjoys evaluating case-specific factors to best formulate strategies that efficiently advance applications toward allowance. Emily also coordinates patent filings and prosecution across foreign jurisdictions, helping clients protect their inventions both domestically and abroad.

Prior to joining BoMc, Emily worked as a patent agent at an intellectual property boutique firm, where she honed her skills in the preparation and prosecution of patent applications and gained substantial experience in design patent practice. Before becoming a registered patent agent, Emily worked at a patent research firm, where she conducted a variety of patent research and analysis projects to help clients better understand the competitive landscape of their inventive concepts and develop more informed patent strategies.

Emily earned a Bachelor of Science in Neurobiology from Georgetown University. Her undergraduate thesis research investigated the effect of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) exposure on astrocytic gene expression in a zebrafish model of Parkinson’s Disease. Emily also served as the first undergraduate Teaching Assistant for Synaptic Transmission, an upper-level neurobiology course that explored neurotransmitter systems at a biochemical, cellular, and physiological level. Outside of her academics, Emily captained her Division I field hockey team and served as a representative for Georgetown’s Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC).
