Aurora Welcomes Albert Du

By: Josh Sloat

Welcome Aboard

We're excited to announce that we're welcoming Albert "Al" Du to the growing Aurora family! Al joins us this Spring, starting his role as ​a Patent Strategist. Al is a USPTO-registered patent attorney with over 10 years of experience, serving as a patent attorney/agent at a number of law firms across a wide variety of technology areas. Al is one of the kindest spirits you'll meet and enjoys working with inventors to address the disconnect between the law and the process of innovation. Al brings incredible breath of insight, having worked on both sides of the prosecution table – now as a patent attorney and previously as an examiner at the USPTO.

Digital and Mechanical Expertise. Al holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University and a Juris Doctorate from The Catholic University of America: Columbus School of Law. Al has drafted and prosecuted hundreds of patent applications for clients in the areas of software, blockchain, IoT, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, drone applications, vehicle automation, and medical devices.

In his spare time, Al enjoys time with his family (wife and two girls), hiking, and is always learning something new. Lately, Al has largely been focused on Brazilian jiu-jitsu and acoustic guitar!
