Patrick Stellitano: From Stealth Technology at Raytheon to Patent Prosecution in Austin

Before he ever drafted a patent claim, Patrick Stellitano spent seven years as an electrical engineer at Texas Instruments, Lockheed, and Raytheon, working on stealth technology, antennas, and radar signal processing — defense-grade engineering work that now underpins his patent prosecution practice in electrical and computer technology.

Origin and Background

Patrick Stellitano practices from 2803 Inridge Drive, Austin, TX 78745, as part of Weisberg I.P. Law, P.A.’s Electrical and Computer Technology Practice Group (also known through its affiliated name Christopher & Weisberg, P.A.). He holds a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering with honors and a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and a Doctor of Jurisprudence cum laude from the University of Houston Law Center. He is a veteran of the United States Navy.

Practice Concentration

Stellitano’s practice covers all aspects of patent law, including drafting and prosecuting both foreign and domestic patent applications, patent portfolio management for medium-sized and small companies, drafting patent license agreements, performing infringement and validity studies, drafting patent legal opinions, litigation support including briefing and discovery, briefing and arguing patent appeals to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, and post-grant patent practice including Inter Partes Review. His current focus areas include AI, robotics, information technology, and quantum electronics. See this Austin Intellectual Property directory for how this engineer-trained patent prosecution and appellate practice compares to general IP boutiques.

Notable Work / Track Record

As a patent prosecution and appellate specialist, Stellitano does not publish a running table of case-specific figures, and Awesome Attorneys did not identify one. His seven years of direct industry experience as an electrical engineer at Texas Instruments, Lockheed, and Raytheon, working specifically on stealth technology and radar signal processing, is itself a documented indicator of defense- and aerospace-grade technical depth uncommon among patent prosecution attorneys.

Client Voice

Awesome Attorneys did not locate a substantial independent consumer review platform sample for this profile; Martindale.com shows no peer reviews on file. Awesome Attorneys discloses this gap directly.

Beyond the Courtroom

Patrick Stellitano’s service as a veteran of the United States Navy reflects a period of public service distinct from his subsequent engineering and legal careers, though Awesome Attorneys did not identify additional named civic or nonprofit board service.

Recognition for This Austin IP Firm

Patrick Stellitano’s registration to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and his admission before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit are independently verifiable through the State Bar of Texas directory. Awesome Attorneys did not identify additional third-party peer-review awards (Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers, Chambers) for this profile beyond these documented federal credentials.

Texas Legal Backdrop

Patent prosecution and Federal Circuit appellate practice, both documented areas of Stellitano’s work, operate entirely under federal law and the U.S. Patent Act regardless of the practitioner’s home state, but his admission specifically before the Northern and Western Districts of Texas positions him to support litigation-adjacent patent work — infringement and validity opinions — that may feed into disputes filed in those Texas federal courts. Inter Partes Review, another area of his practice, allows challenges to already-issued patents before the USPTO’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board as an alternative to federal district court litigation. None of this is legal advice; a specific patent matter should be evaluated by a licensed attorney based on the actual facts involved.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

Patrick Stellitano’s clearest differentiator is a genuinely rare technical background — seven years as an electrical engineer on stealth technology and radar systems at Texas Instruments, Lockheed, and Raytheon — combined with a patent practice spanning prosecution, portfolio management, opinions, and Federal Circuit appellate work. The honest trade-off is that Awesome Attorneys did not locate independent client reviews for this profile, and his current focus areas (AI, robotics, quantum electronics) suggest a practice oriented toward sophisticated, cutting-edge technology clients rather than routine consumer patent filings. For a client working in AI, robotics, defense-adjacent electronics, or quantum technology who wants patent counsel with genuine hands-on defense-industry engineering experience, that background is a strong basis for a shortlist.

Methodology and Sourcing

This profile was researched from Weisberg I.P. Law’s own website (attorney biography for Patrick Stellitano), Martindale.com’s attorney profile documenting his admissions and technology practice group, the State Bar of Texas attorney directory, and Justia’s attorney directory listing.
