Eric Moore has been promoted to partner at the intellectual property and technology law firm Patterson + Sheridan LLP. Moore will be working in Huntsville and Dallas for the firm. He has worked within the computer science discipline for more than a decade, first entering the field as a developer of military software.

“It is an honor to be named partner at Patterson + Sheridan. I look forward to growing my practice in the artificial intelligence and machine learning space, mentoring the future of patent law and supporting the firm’s clients in emerging technologies,” said Moore.

Moore has drafted and prosecuted hundreds of patent applications related to complex computer technologies, including machine learning, virtual computing, user interfaces, semiconductor technologies and telecommunications.

He often helps clients identify patentable subject matter through “invention mining” sessions which translate ideas into viable applications. He also applies his legal skills and technical background to assist in dispute resolution including patent litigation.

Before joining the law firm, he was a patent examiner at the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Moore holds a B.S. degree in computer science from the University of Alabama in Huntsville and a J.D. from the Ave Maria School of Law.
