This list is updated monthly. Last updated October 15, 2026.
How this list was compiled: from the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s Patent Public Search database. It includes every issued patent whose front page names Jon Burbage or Burbage Law as attorney; plus 64 patents from applications he wrote at Patent Law Works between 2009 and 2013, whose front pages name only that firm or a firm that later took over the file, identified from his own files and the patent office record and confirmed by him; plus 21 Jaunt patents from applications he filed that issued after the portfolio passed to Verizon, whose front pages name no attorney. Patents from his years at Fenwick & West name only the firm on their front pages and are not included.
