Member Spotlight

Shannon Hughes Mastick

Q:  How long have you been a member of IPLAC?
A:  At least since 2016.

Q:  What’s your favorite part of being an IPLAC member?
A:  Meeting and networking with all of the great IP attorneys in Chicago! Events like the Judges’ Dinner are always fun.

Q:  How did you get into IP?
A:  I first heard about patent law as a possible career path in a seminar I took during my sophomore or junior year of my undergrad physics degree, and realized it sounded a lot more interesting to me than working in a lab. I went to law school right after undergrad and have been a patent attorney with Marshall Gerstein since I graduated law school.

Q:  Cubs or Sox?
A:  Sox, even though this year was rough!
