Griffin Deadwick

At Venable, Griffin pairs his deep interest in technology with his love for the law and legal writing. He treats patents as complex pieces of art and IP agreements as a means to protect this art; therefore, he meticulously drafts patent applications and perceptively constructs and analyzes IP agreements. He helps clients in the technology realm protect patentable inventions and secure favorable deals involving the transfer and/or licensing of IP.

Griffin's love for technology informed his college studies. He selected physics courses on computer and electronics topics, including physical computing, which involved sending and receiving data from microcontrollers and piecing together circuits to create and modify devices such as oscilloscopes, velocity readers (speed guns), speakers, 556 timers, and other devices. Furthermore, his background gives him proficiency in various programming languages, including Java, Python, and C++.

In law school, Griffin focused his studies on intellectual property and technology. He also honed his writing and editing skills as an articles editor at the International Law Journal. In his final year at Cornell, Griffin participated in the Cornell Tech program, where he took various technology-focused courses and earned a spot on the Dean's List.
