Professional Profile
Kerry S. Taylor is a partner in our San Diego office. Dr. Taylor has been practicing since 1998 in areas including Inter Partes Reviews, patent prosecution, strategic planning and counseling relating to infringement and licensing issues, and intellectual property due diligence studies.
Dr. Taylor is very active in our firm’s Inter Partes Review practice. He has lead our firm’s efforts in Inter Partes Review in the life sciences, biotechnology and chemistry, representing both Patent Owner and Petitioner in these proceedings. Dr. Taylor also is active in patent prosecution and portfolio strategy development for various clients in the life sciences, pharmaceuticals and polymer chemistry industries.
Dr. Taylor received his doctorate degree in biochemistry and molecular biology from the University of Chicago where he worked in the field of structural biology, using primarily x-ray crystallographic techniques to study protein engineering and design. He was awarded the Lucille P. Markey award for his work. After receiving his doctorate degree, Dr. Taylor performed post-doctoral studies at the University of California at Berkeley directed to structural analysis of protein-ligand interactions.
Dr. Taylor joined the firm in 2005 and became a partner in 2010. Prior to joining the firm, Dr. Taylor worked as an associate at Fish & Richardson PC. Before law school, Dr. Taylor worked as a patent agent at Campbell & Flores LLP.
