Biography

Chris Huebner is a patent agent who focuses on protecting innovations across a broad range of technologies. His work encompasses areas such as chemistry, life sciences, medical devices, mechanical devices, metals, optics, energy storage, polymers, coatings, energy efficiency, semiconductors, textiles, automotive, aerospace, energy harvesting, architecture, microfluidics, and physics.

Chris assists clients with patent application preparation and prosecution, drawing on his background in materials science and engineering. He has been practicing in this field since 2016, leveraging his academic and research experience to support clients’ intellectual property needs.

Prior to his legal career, Chris held research positions at Clemson University and Georgia Tech. At Clemson, he served as a research assistant professor, establishing a laboratory for functional ink formulation, processing, and printing. During his time at Georgia Tech, Chris worked on developing advanced materials for lithium-ion battery and supercapacitor applications. He also contributed to a startup company, where he developed a pilot plant for increased production of lithium-ion battery anode materials.

Chris holds a PhD in Materials Science & Engineering from Clemson University, with a specialization in semiconductive organic materials. He also earned a J.D. from Georgia State University’s College of Law and a B.S. in Physics from Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania, where he focused on semiconductor nanofabrication and manufacturing.
