Lucia (Lucy) Ruscitto
Overview
Lucy Ruscitto helps innovators, creators, and growing businesses protect and build on what they’ve created so they can compete with confidence. She works across the full intellectual property spectrum, from patents to trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, and has experience supporting clients in patent arbitration.
A Southern California native who graduated from Baylor University with a degree in journalism / public relations, Lucy’s communications background helps her better understand how IP intersects with technology and media in an evolving digital landscape. In addition, she previously gained commercial litigation experience as a law clerk and served as a research assistant to a noted IP and AI law scholar at Wake Forest Law, a role that also allowed her to assist with editing the second edition of Acing Intellectual Property. This background has supported her in building a careful, research-driven approach to client questions.
