Scott

I am Scott R. Cleere, a practicing patent attorney with over 15 years of experience in intellectual property law, and I am passionate about helping aspiring law students master the LSAT while building the analytical and logical skills that fuel success in law school and beyond. My credentials are rooted in rigorous legal and technical training: a J.D. earned cum laude from the University of Idaho (2000), an LL.M. in Intellectual Property Law & Policy from the University of Washington (2006), and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Brigham Young University (1996). This foundation in both law and engineering has sharpened my ability to dissect complex problems, construct airtight arguments, and identify patternsprecisely the skills tested in every section of the LSAT. In roles ranging from Associate Patent Attorney at Mueller Ivy Newburn & Knight (2024present) to Sr. Patent Attorney at Hall Labs (20192024), in-house counsel at GEA Farm Technologies (20132015), and managing my own IP boutique firm, I have routinely conducted inventor interviews, developed prosecution strategies, advised corporate leaders, and managed multimillion-dollar patent portfolios. These responsibilities demanded clear communication of intricate legal concepts, strategic thinking under pressure, and creative problem-solvingtalents I now bring directly into tutoring. I have also negotiated patent litigation, reduced prosecution costs by 65% through streamlined processes, and guided clients through every stage of IP protection, experiences that translate seamlessly into teaching the logical reasoning, logic games, and reading comprehension that define the LSAT. Beyond LSAT preparation, I offer specialized tutoring in law-related subjects and civics. My daily practice in patent and trademark law, combined with years of client relationship management and customer-service experience (including technical support at Conduent), equips me to explain constitutional principles, legal ethics, government processes, and intellectual property policy with clarity and real-world relevance. Whether you are aiming for a top law-school score or seeking deeper insight into the legal system, my approach is patient, personalized, and results-driven. Together, we will turn the LSAT into an opportunitynot an obstacleand set you on the path to a rewarding legal career. I look forward to partnering with you!
