Stewart Myers helps inventors, entrepreneurs, and small businesses protect and grow their ideas through practical intellectual property strategy. He began his legal career at Intel in 2001 in the corporate licensing group, where he developed a lasting appreciation for innovation and the real-world business value behind emerging technology.
After Intel, Stewart earned a computer science degree and became a patent attorney so he could work directly with technical inventions and the people building them. He spent more than 15 years running a private practice in Corvallis, Oregon, an unusually innovation-rich community shaped by Oregon State University, tech startups, and seasoned engineers. Over that time he helped clients with everything from practical mechanical inventions, including portable bottling machines, to advanced software patents, along with a wide range of trademark and copyright needs.
Stewart later became a partner at a boutique IP firm in Portland, focusing on patents and trademarks, and he has presented to entrepreneur groups, small business organizations, and community groups throughout his career. Today he practices from Medford, bringing big-firm experience and small-town accessibility to Southern Oregon, Northern California, and clients across the country.
