Leveraging strong biomedical and pharmaceutical research skills to assist clients

Raegan Giberson is a goal-oriented attorney in the firm’s Houston office who prepares and prosecutes patent applications in order to protect her client’s intellectual property in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.

As a former Patterson + Sheridan summer associate, Raegan conducted detailed reviews of patents and applications for biomedical and pharmaceutical clients to assess compliance with United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) guidelines. She also completed prior art searches and patent landscape analyses to identify infringement risks, and prepared responses to USPTO actions.

Prior to becoming a summer associate for the firm, Raegan worked as an IP law intern for a national continuous glucose monitor device company. Throughout her internship, she reviewed patent applications, gaining insight into the day of in-house counsel. She utilizes this knowledge in her daily practice and understands what questions to ask when working with in-house counsel.

A hardworking, efficient and technical attorney

Raegan’s superb time management skills enable her to provide the best service possible to each of her clients. Her extensive background in research allows her to understand complex technical concepts and translate them into a concrete, argumentative patent application.

Raegan holds a Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Hendrix College. She completed her J.D. at the University of Arkansas School of Law along with her Master’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering. While pursuing her Master’s, Raegan conducted research using the NAD+/NADH redox ratio to assess metabolic disease states through time-counted proton monitors, aiming to detect oscillations to determine if the monitors could serve as a novel diagnostic method for mitochondrial diseases. She also completed undergraduate research on rapid cold hardening in ectotherms and its relationship to octopamine, a norepinephrine analog, establishing an opening for future studies on using octopamine derivatives to extend the shelf-life of organs for transplant.

Throughout law school, Raegan worked as a technology assessment intern for the University of Arkansas’ Technology Ventures tech transfer office. She created technology assessment reports for researchers and inventors, assessed new technologies for patentability and market potential, and analyzed more than 50 invention disclosures. In 2023, Raegan volunteered at the University of Arkansas School of Law’s Patent Law Bootcamp.

Outside of the office, Raegan utilizes her entrepreneurial spirit in many different ways: she owns a small business that buys and sells diamonds, and another that propagates variegated plants and various species of Nepenthes.
