Bradley K. Lortz is a founding partner of Canady + Lortz LLP.
Mr. Lortz has lived in Southern California since beginning an undergraduate engineering program at Loyola Marymount University in 1984. Prior to graduation, he began working at Hughes Space and Communications (HSC) where he spent his entire technical career in the design, development, and production of satellites. After completing his law degree at the University of Southern California, while maintaining a working relationship with Hughes as a contract engineer, Mr. Lortz was granted the opportunity to learn patent prosecution in the Hughes Corporate Legal Department. With the subsequent sale of HSC to Boeing, Mr. Lortz continued his practical education in intellectual property and patent prosecution at a small Los Angeles firm where he acquired a solid grounding in the essential processes and strategies for securing and evaluating patent rights. Following this, he established his own practice as a partner with Patent Venture Group out of which Origin Law was founded and later merged with Karen Canady’s practice to become Canady + Lortz LLP.
Mr. Lortz has over fifteen years of intellectual property law experience emphasizing patent prosecution and seven years of spacecraft design and development experience on various government and commercial programs.
