Brad G. Jubber
Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at fourteen, Brad has relied every day since on technology to stay alive — an insulin pump, a continuous glucose monitor, the predictive algorithms that read his blood sugar and decide what to do about it. The people who keep him alive aren't only his doctors. They're the engineers who designed the pump, miniaturized the sensor, and wrote the algorithms.
And those innovations only ever reached him because someone owned them. Medtronic, Dexcom, and the others held the patents that made the funding, the development, and the years of refinement possible. That conviction — that ownership is what carries an innovation from idea to impact — is why Brad practices intellectual property law for the people who actually make things.
Brad is a USPTO-registered patent attorney with degrees in both mechanical and electrical engineering. Before law, he worked as an engineer — which means he reads a process sheet the way your shop does, and he works directly with owners and engineers rather than handing you off. He speaks to manufacturers on exactly this topic. His talk for the American Foundry Society, "Sword, Shield, and Bridge: Use Cases for Intellectual Property," is the backbone of how Forge & Fence works.
