Origin
An Electrical Engineer Who Became a Patent Litigator and Law Professor
Daniel J. Noblitt holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and has spent more than 30 years advising on technology, trademark, and creative-content strategy, per his own biography. Before founding Noblitt & Newson, he was a partner at a large Arizona law firm and worked with firms in Texas and the Southwest. He now teaches as an adjunct professor of intellectual property at Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law and frequently lectures on IP and related technology and business issues — an academic role that, combined with his engineering degree, gives him the kind of dual technical-and-legal grounding patent litigation typically requires.
Práctica
Genuinely Litigation-Capable, Not Prosecution-Only
Unlike some smaller IP boutiques that prosecute patents and trademarks but refer litigation to other firms, Noblitt & Newson lists trademark litigation, patent litigation, and copyright litigation as in-house practice areas alongside trade secret misappropriation, unfair competition and false advertising claims, and trademark opposition and cancellation proceedings, per its own site. The firm also handles the non-contentious side of IP work — patent and trademark portfolio management, brand clearance opinions, and domestic and international trademark filings — giving clients a single firm across both the registration and enforcement stages of an IP matter. Noblitt’s clients span electronics, software, entertainment, finance, medical devices, manufacturing, transportation, and consumer goods industries, per his biography.
Historial
No Published, Itemized Case List
Awesome Attorneys did not identify a published, itemized settlement or verdict table for this firm. As with other IP litigation practices in this category, settlement terms in patent and trademark disputes are frequently confidential.
La voz del cliente
Not Independently Documented
Awesome Attorneys did not identify a substantial volume of independently published, attributable client reviews for this firm as of the research date.
Comunidad
Legal Education as Public Contribution
Noblitt’s ongoing adjunct teaching role at ASU’s law school and his regular lecturing on IP issues function as a form of sustained contribution to the legal profession and public understanding of intellectual property law, distinct from traditional civic board service. Awesome Attorneys did not identify a separate nonprofit board role or dedicated pro bono program for this firm.
Reconocimientos
The Strongest Independently Verifiable IP Credential in This Category
Daniel Noblitt was named Scottsdale’s 2024 “Lawyer of the Year” in Patent Law by Best Lawyers in America — a peer-nominated, research-driven award given to a single attorney per practice area per market each year, making it a more selective distinction than a general Best Lawyers listing. Two of the firm’s attorneys are listed by Super Lawyers specifically in the Patents category for Scottsdale. Of the five firms in this Intellectual Property category, Noblitt & Newson is the only one for which Awesome Attorneys identified an independently verifiable, peer-reviewed legal award specific to intellectual property practice, as distinct from general business or trade-directory recognition.
Contexto legal de Arizona
Patent Bar Admission and the Federal Circuit
Like other patent practitioners, attorneys prosecuting patents before the USPTO must hold separate Patent Bar admission requiring a qualifying technical background — Noblitt’s electrical engineering degree satisfies that requirement. Patent litigation appeals from the District of Arizona go to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, a specialized national court rather than a regional circuit court, making patent-specific appellate experience a distinct and narrower credential than general federal litigation experience. This is general information, not legal advice.
Evaluación de Awesome Attorneys
The Best-Documented Peer Recognition in This Category
Noblitt & Newson combines a genuinely dual-track practice — prosecution and litigation both handled in-house, unlike some competitors that refer litigation out — with the strongest independently verifiable peer-review credential Awesome Attorneys identified anywhere in this Intellectual Property category: a Best Lawyers “Lawyer of the Year” designation specific to patent law. Noblitt’s engineering background and ongoing ASU teaching role add further, independently plausible technical depth. The honest gap, shared with most firms in this category, is a lack of published client reviews or itemized case results. For a patent, trademark, or copyright matter that may require litigation rather than registration alone, this firm’s combination of in-house litigation capability and peer recognition makes it a strong firm to interview.
