Emily Mae-Yen Ross
Emily focuses her practice on IP litigation and enforcement, as well as patent prosecution, in a variety of technology areas. Emily received her J.D. from Northwestern Pritzker School of Law in 2021, where she was heavily involved with the IP community and secured asylum for four children through the Bluhm Legal Clinic’s Children and Family Justice Center. She received a B.S. (with distinction) in Engineering from Harvey Mudd College in 2014.
Emily’s experience includes infringement and litigation matters, as well as preparing and prosecuting U.S. and foreign patent applications, primarily in software and hardware technology areas. In her litigation practice, Emily has experience preparing pleadings, conducting and managing discovery, drafting claim construction arguments, preparing for trial, and participating in inter partes review proceedings. In her prosecution practice, she has significant experience drafting, prosecuting, and appealing patent applications for clients ranging from small startups to Fortune 100 companies.
During law school, Emily was President of the Intellectual Property Law Society, an executive board member of the Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property, and an active student member of the Richard Linn American Inn of Court. She was also the Midwest Regional Champion and a National Semifinalist in the American Intellectual Property Law Association’s 2019-2020 Giles S. Rich Memorial Moot Court Competition. During her time at the Children and Family Justice Center, Emily sensitively conducted numerous interviews with her traumatized clients and drafted comprehensive briefs in light of evolving case law and guidance, which ultimately led to her clients’ successful asylum claim.
Prior to joining Seed IP, Emily worked as an IP litigation associate at a large law firm in Palo Alto, California. Prior to attending law school, she was also a patent agent at a large law firm in Mountain View, California. Additionally, her undergraduate research focused on semiconductor nanofabrication and characterization, in association with Harvey Mudd College’s Department of Chemistry, Stanford University’s Department of Electrical Engineering, and the National Institute for Materials Science in Tsukuba, Japan.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
