Stinson, St. Louis

For many attorneys, it is the ability to practice successfully at the intersection of law and business which make them a valuable resource to clients, and certainly B. Scott Eidson is no exception.

In fact, the 2005 Washington University graduate has worked in the classroom not just at one but two alma maters. He educates on trademark litigation for law students at Wash U while previously having taught finance to business students at the University of Missouri, where he earned an MBA. He also possesses degrees in English and the biological sciences.

Eidson has become a notable figure in counseling the gaming industry, having worked with technology manufacturers and providers as well as software companies and independent testing laboratories in the field to develop a well-rounded understanding of this legal niche.

But Eidson also has first-chaired successful multimillion dollar trials in various areas of patent and trademark infringement, trade secret misappropriation and breach of contract matters. Representative cases have included food preparation methodology, recreational products and mechanical devices.

Eidson, who previously worked as a litigator at Senniger Powers and Armstrong Teasdale, is a respected business advisor who represents companies in front of the USPTO and helps entrepreneurs dealing with commercial contract issues that relate to IP licensing and trade secret protections.

“Scott approaches each task with preparation, creativity and tenacity,” said his firm bio.
