Robert R. Richardson - Patent Attorney
After getting his BS in Physics from the US Naval Academy, Robert went on to the Naval Nuclear Power Program and served as a nuclear-trained submarine officer before becoming a patent attorney.
Robert's background in Physics makes it easier to understand inventions in areas like semiconductors and ultrasound. But also, he says, "An education in Physics helps me to explain to my children such critical concepts as conservation of angular momentum while spinning around on a kitchen stool or predicting the trajectory of a model rocket."
