Our Journey

Dr. Claine Snow is a registered patent attorney with almost 12 years of experience serving companies in the pharmaceutical, chemical, biotech, and life sciences manufacturing space. Prior to founding Snow Intellectual Property Law, Dr. Snow was Executive Counsel at Arcturus Therapeutics. During his 7 years at Arcturus, Dr. Snow guided the company from a preclinical stage to clinical and finally as  a commercial stage therapeutics company, growing the patent portfolio to over 500 patents and applications in dozens of jurisdictions around the world. He helped the company in all aspects of its intellectual property needs establishing policies and procedures that ensured inventions were secured. His experience in the company involved important transactional and diligence activities including several public offerings and collaborative licensing arrangements. Dr. Snow started his career at the prestigious intellectual property boutique, Knobbe Martens Olson and Bear, where he gained excellent training in patent prosecution and ANDA litigation and later transferred to McDermott Will and Emery. Dr. Snow obtained a juris doctorate degree from Stanford Law School. He earned a Bachelors of Science in chemistry with a minor in biology from Brigham Young University-Idaho in 2004, then went on to obtain his PhD in Chemistry from Brigham Young University  in 2010. His doctoral work involved a thermodynamic investigation of iron oxide nanopolymorphs and their relation to the iron mineral core of the biological storage protein ferritin. During this time, Dr. Snow became strongly interested in the use of protein scaffolds to direct the formation of inorganic nanomaterials, which led him to a postdoctoral position at the University of Colorado.  

In his free time he loves spending time with his wife and their 6 children - hiking, cooking, keeping his Duolingo streak going, doing jigsaw puzzles, eating new foods, and traveling/adventuring together.
