> From Lab to Launch: Protecting What You Build

Hi, I’m Tina Dorr—a Ph.D. scientist turned patent attorney and Partner at Barnes & Thornburg. I help startups, founders, and R&D teams protect what they’ve built and position their IP for long-term value, investment, and growth.

With a doctorate in Chemistry & Biochemistry from Georgia Tech and over a decade of patent experience, I specialize in IP strategy for science-driven innovations: from cleantech and materials to formulations, diagnostics, and AI-driven platforms. My clients range from early-stage startups to global companies navigating complex patent and regulatory landscapes.

I’m not just here to file patents—I help you think strategically about why, when, and how to protect your ideas so they support your product roadmap, funding milestones, and competitive edge.

If you’re looking for practical, business-focused guidance on patents, trademarks, or trade secrets, let’s talk.
