Janice H. Logan, Ph.D.
Janice (Lee) Logan is a US patent attorney fluent in Japanese and Korean who focuses on patent prosecution and global intellectual property strategy for chemistry, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and other life sciences technologies. As co-leader of the firm’s Pharmaceutical Working Group, Janice combines robust patent experience with a deep scientific background to help clients protect and commercialize innovations in the United States and worldwide.
Janice develops and manages global patent portfolios for established multinational chemical and biotech companies, emerging growth companies, and startups. She counsels clients on US and international patent procurement, patent prosecution strategy, freedom-to-operate and intellectual property due diligence, patent litigation, and IP-related transactions. Her experience includes polymer science, biotechnology, digital therapeutics, diagnostics, stem cell technologies, medical devices, and artificial intelligence–enabled innovations.
Fluent in both Korean and Japanese, Janice helps clients navigate the legal, technical, and business considerations involved in building valuable US and international patent portfolios. Her ability to communicate directly in both languages, together with her experience in American patent law and global IP strategy, enables her to work effectively with companies, inventors, and in-house legal teams on sophisticated cross-border patent matters.
Janice has been recognized as a Next Generation Partner by The Legal 500, and by Chambers USA as Up and Coming, Intellectual Property: Patent Prosecution. One client described her strength as her “professional hospitality,” noting that she carefully considers each client’s business goals, budget, legal issues, and commercial circumstances. The client also recognized her chemical and biotechnology background and her ability to advise on a wide variety of technologies, including artificial intelligence.
Before entering legal practice, Janice conducted Ph.D. research involving polymer synthesis, stem cells, polymer scaffolds, and musculoskeletal tissue engineering. She developed stem cell coculture systems in polymer scaffolds, and her dissertation research investigated the differentiation of adult and embryonic stem cells. She has authored scientific publications and is a named inventor on patents and patent applications arising from her research.
Janice also leads the Morgan Lewis IP Academy Series, which features monthly webinars and live seminars addressing developments in US patent law and global intellectual property strategy.
