I'm Robert Walat, and I've dedicated my career to helping people protect the ideas that move the world forward. I'm a patent attorney based in Cohasset, Massachusetts, and for the past few decades, I’ve worked closely with inventors, entrepreneurs, and businesses to secure their intellectual property and develop smart, strategic approaches to innovation.

I’ve always been curious about how things work—that started when I was a kid growing up in Longmeadow, Massachusetts, taking apart gadgets just to understand them. That curiosity eventually led me to law school in Boston, where I discovered a passion for patent law—a perfect intersection of technology and legal thinking.

What I enjoy most about my work is the problem-solving aspect. Every case is a puzzle that requires precision, patience, and vision. Whether I’m drafting a patent application or helping a client navigate infringement issues, I approach it with a long-term mindset and a commitment to getting it right.

Outside of work, I’m a big basketball fan and enjoy taking long walks along the coast—it helps clear my head. I’ve built my career on integrity, attention to detail, and a genuine respect for the innovators I serve.
