Julianna L. Hunt helps clients protect and enforce their intellectual property, with a practice spanning patent prosecution, patent litigation, and trademark, copyright, and trade secret matters. Her chemistry degree, her master’s training in pharmaceutical and medical device regulatory compliance, and her in-house experience at a growing software company give her both technical fluency and a practical understanding of how businesses build and use their IP portfolios.

Julianna’s practice centers on chemical patent prosecution. She drafts and prosecutes patent applications before the USPTO covering chemical compositions, formulations, and processes, working closely with inventors in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and medical device fields to turn their research into well-supported, strategically crafted claims. She also conducts freedom-to-operate analyses and advises clients on patent portfolio strategy, including whether patent or trade secret protection best fits a given innovation. In addition, Julianna supports the firm’s patent litigation practice in federal district court, including claim construction disputes. She writes regularly on IP developments, including for The Legal Intelligencer.
