Kevin C Staed | Attorney

Kevin is a patent attorney who also provides services for trademarks, copyrights, licensing, and other IP matters.  He counsels clients on the best ways to use IP assets to advance their business and protect against infringers.

Kevin works in a broad range of technology areas, including mechanical devices, automotive tech, building/construction methods, electro-mechanical, computer/software arts, internet technologies, and innovations in manufacturing and business processes.

He started his career as an Operations Engineer at a large St. Louis fruit and produce distributor, before entering law school at St. Louis University School of Law, where he earned his Juris Doctorate.  

Kevin is active in the St. Louis entrepreneur and startup community. His desire to work with entrepreneurs was spurred by his father, a former packaging engineer with patents himself,  who now counsels businesses and startups in packaging technology, design and innovation. Coincidentally, Kevin’s wife is a marketing innovator at a Fortune 500 company, who grew up in a family of entrepreneurs as well.

His two biggest passions outside of his IP work are time with his wife and daughter... and, of course, golf!
