"In the latest episode of IPWatchdog Unleashed, I had the opportunity to sit down with Ted Wood-a unique figure whose career spans military service, engineering and patent law. After spending time both in-house and at Am Law 100 firms, today Ted is Managing Partner of Wood IP. Our conversation, which took place August 8, was not only interesting and fun but a testament to the diverse pathways one can take to success, both in life and, specifically, in the engineering and patent law fields."
"This episode of IPWatchdog Unleashed is more than just a story of career progression; it's an illustration of how diverse experiences can converge to forge a standout professional path. Ted's story encourages us to explore our strengths and embrace the unique road that opens before us, putting one foot in front of the other and being unafraid to seize opportunity when it presents."
"As a young man, Ted admitted to not taking school very seriously until his father challenged him to do better, at which point he discovered a real aptitude for mathematics. From there, Ted's academic career took off, and he found himself ultimately in ROTC, and with a career as an electrical engineer in the United States Air Force. Ultimately, Ted would spend 24 years in the military-14 on active duty and 10 years in the reserves-and retired with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel."
Ted Wood's career combines military service, engineering, and patent law. He served 24 years in the United States Air Force, including 14 years on active duty and 10 years in the reserves, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. He worked on advanced weapons systems and signal processing, developing technical expertise and discipline. A paternal challenge revealed an aptitude for mathematics that led to ROTC and an electrical engineering career. He worked both in-house and at Am Law 100 firms and now serves as Managing Partner of Wood IP. The transition to law began serendipitously after exploring business avenues and choosing against government contracting.
