Scott Lloyd has more than fifteen years of experience in the intellectual property and technology space, including over a decade working as in-house general counsel before moving into private practice. Through this experience Scott has become a business-minded attorney who thrives on helping companies develop attractive intellectual property strategies and finding creative ways to overcome business obstacles for companies who rely on intellectual property protections and regulatory approvals to optimize business performance. Scott understands the demands of in-house legal counsel and therefore responds to clients’ needs efficiently and effectively, acting as external general counsel for many clients.
Scott’s industry experience includes biopharma, medical devices, software and agriculture, among others, in particular with emerging markets. Scott’s practice focus includes intellectual property counseling, prosecution and maintenance, data privacy and security, corporate and business transactions, and representation of clients before regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Scott is a Certified Licensing Professional (2023), which is an industry certification demonstrating experience and proficiency in the licensing and commercialization of intellectual property.
Prior to joining Gordon Feinblatt, Scott worked at another Maryland law firm within its intellectual property practice group. In his spare time, Scott enjoys tennis, music and play by play announcing for the Rockville Rams high school football team.
