Cantor Colburn Welcomes Alex Tucker to the Partnership
Cantor Colburn LLP, one of the largest and most productive full-service intellectual property law firms in the country, welcomes D. Alexander Tucker to the partnership. Mr. Tucker is a patent attorney in the firm’s Atlanta office. He joined the firm as an Associate in 2016.
"Alex provides clients with outstanding counsel and service,” said Philmore H. Colburn II, Managing Partner of Cantor Colburn. "The partnership is confident that he will make even greater contributions to the firm’s success in his new role.”
Mr. Tucker counsels clients on a wide range of intellectual property matters, including the preparation and prosecution of patent applications, IP transactions and licensing, and portfolio analysis and management. He also prepares infringement, patentability, invalidity, and freedom-to-operate opinions. Working with numerous technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, including advances in neural network architectures, transformers, and generative AI, semiconductor devices and fabrication, including transistor architectures and photolithography, wireless communications and standards, medical devices, nanotechnology, and consumer electronics, Mr. Tucker represents clients across an industry spectrum that includes computing, machine learning, manufacturing, petrochemicals, and telecommunications.
Mr. Tucker’s previous experience includes serving as Patent Examiner for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), where he advised practitioners regarding strategies for overcoming 101 (Alice) rejections. Prior to practicing law, Mr. Tucker worked as a process engineer for Shaw Energy & Chemicals (formerly Stone & Webster), where he focused on petrochemical plant design including ethylene steam cracking furnaces (olefins), kinetics simulation and yield prediction, radiant and convective heat transfer systems, and mercaptan and acid gas removal (e.g., carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) removal from vapor streams).
Mr. Tucker is a graduate of Emory University School of Law, earning a J.D. in 2013 and a graduate of the University of South Carolina-Columbia, earning a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and in Mathematics in 2007. He is admitted to the State Bar of Georgia and to practice before the USPTO.
