William Furlow

William James Furlow is a patent attorney and biochemist whose practice sits at the intersection of cutting-edge science and high-stakes legal strategy. Combining advanced scientific training with elite legal credentials, he works across patent and trademark prosecution, copyright and technology transactions, high-value licensing, and federal technology transfer. With deep subject-matter expertise in life sciences, artificial intelligence, and dual-use technologies, he can read the research, understand the invention, and build IP strategies that create lasting business value — not just file patents.

What distinguishes William is his track record advising on legal, commercialization, and national security matters across key federal agencies, including the U.S. Departments of Defense, Energy, Health and Human Services, and Homeland Security. He brings firsthand knowledge of government R&D ecosystems, dual-use technology regulation, SBIR/STTR programs, and Bayh-Dole Act compliance — expertise invaluable to defense contractors, federally funded researchers, and companies operating at the government–private sector interface. He is also a regular contributor to the American Bar Association’s Science & Technology Law Section, writing and presenting on biotechnology law, AI governance, and dual-use innovation.

William holds a J.D. from Emory University School of Law and an M.S. in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from Georgetown University, and is admitted to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as a Registered Patent Attorney. At DataStudios, he helps legal and technology teams navigate where AI intersects with intellectual property, regulatory compliance, and commercialization — ensuring transformative discoveries are not only protected, but translated into scalable, real-world impact.
