Dennis Crouch

Dennis David Crouch[1] (born April 30, 1975 [2] in Columbia, South Carolina[3]) is an American patent attorney who worked for McDonnell Boehnen Hulbert & Berghoff LLP (MBHB) in Chicago, Illinois, until 2007.[4] In 2007, he accepted a post of associate professor at the University of Missouri School of Law in Columbia, Missouri.[4]

In 1997, he received his B.S.E. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University, where he also earned a certificate in engineering management systems. In 2003, he received his J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School,[2] and passed the Illinois bar examination and was admitted to practice in Illinois in the same year.[1] He also passed the USPTO registration examination, most likely in 2003, and was registered to practice as a patent agent in February 2004 and as a patent attorney in August 2004.[5][6] He runs the "Patently-O Patent Blog",[7] a patent law blog that features analysis on current Federal Circuit law and other subjects. According to BusinessWeek, as of 2008 the Patently-O blog was the most widely read patent law blog[8] and was included in the American Bar Association Journal blog's inaugural patent blog "hall of fame" in 2012.[9] Crouch is reported to be "fairly obsessive about timeliness, checking the Federal Circuit's site when it is updated each morning and immediately noting new cases on his blog."
