Curtis Wadsworth, J.D., Ph.D. (Curt) is an intellectual property lawyer whose practice focuses on the areas of intellectual property, technology, and business law. Leveraging his Ph.D. in molecular, cellular, and developmental biology from the University of Pittsburgh, Curt is able to understand both client needs and navigate technical nuances that their respective industries may present.

In 15+ years in big law, he has developed extensive experience developing and implementing IP strategies for a range of clients in various technology areas, extending from biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and material science to computer-related inventions and artificial intelligence.

Curt doesn’t only assist clients with patent applications, he founded DorothyAI, a patent search and analytics platform, and Nerd Lawyer, using AI and Large Language Models to extract and analyze information from diverse sources to lawyers and business people and bringing IP law to the people.   

Outside of legal work, Curt is active in the maker community where he has made a lot of scrap metal blacksmithing and welding, while begging more seasoned makers to put watermarks on their instagram photos. He recently took ownership of a 1985 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia Weekender that he is fastidiously restoring between camping trips and outings with the Pittsburgh Vanagon Club.
