ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Meet Attorney Walker Weitzel
I founded Alloy Patent Law in 2014 with the core mission of improving inventor access to patent protection.
While the firm has grown dramatically over the years, the mission has not changed. We are here for the inventors. Accessible quality representation – that’s all we do.
Intellectual property is the focus of legal practice. I also find it is helpful to practice in other fields that are helpful to my clients, such as business law. I work with every client one-on-one from the outset. Once I understand your invention and the specifics of your case, we go to work.
As a lifelong lover of science and technology, I bring an encyclopedic knowledge of science and tech to our conversation. As an experienced patent attorney, I pride myself on my understanding of strategy and tactics for efficient patent prosecution. Most importantly- I bring a relentless pursuit of your interests. It surprises no-one that persistence is key in patent law.
One less-common part of my background that plays a major part in my practice is my significant teaching and tutoring experience. This is important to helping you understand your options and feel good about your decision, whatever that is.

Biography
I enjoy forming lasting relationships with my clients, and I have both partnered with and invested in my clients’ companies.
Prior to founding Alloy Patent Law, I spent ten years as a mechanical engineer with Electroimpact in aircraft assembly automation. I designed and built aircraft assembly machines, and my design portfolio includes machine major structures, machine axes, and process tools. I have developed assembly machines, tools, and processes for aircraft including the 737, 767, 777, 787, F/A 18 Super Hornet, A350, A400M, and multiple orbital satellites. My personal favorite project was when I helped develop a high-power, water-cooled electromagnet for the 737 wing build process.
During that time, I had the pleasure of working with many talented engineers. Often, colleagues worked on personal projects, and many of those eventually went on to found their own companies based on their work. I worked closely with a number of other inventors, and I witnessed firsthand the significance of patents and intellectual property.
While working full time as an engineer, I attended Seattle University School of Law. Despite the demands of my engineering career, I graduated among the top 5% of my class. I received top honors in multiple law courses and a variety of significant academic distinctions and merit scholarships during my legal studies.
I entered law school with an idea of what I wanted to do, and clarified that idea during my studies. In 2012, I conceived of Alloy Patent Law and its core mission.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many patents have you filed?
Hundreds. With over ten years of experience in intellectual property law, Alloy Patent Law has had the honor of serving many creators. Our office is established in the Seattle area, but our clientele spans the nation.
How do I know if my invention is patentable?
A “patentable” invention is one that is novel, useful, and not obvious. Our team can conduct a thorough search to determine whether or not your invention has already been brought to market.
How long does it take to get a patent?
Data from the United States Patent and Tradmark Office tells us that it takes approximately 22 months to receive approval for a patent application. In some cases, it can be expedited to 6-12 months. Regardless of how long it takes, Alloy Patent Law will ensure that it’s filed to the highest standards.
