About The Law Office of Darryl E. Scott, PLLC.
The Law Office of Darryl E. Scott, PLLC is a Houston intellectual property practice at 2009 Lubbock St, working across patents, trademarks, and copyrights. The firm’s stated focus is patent services for engineering, biotech, medical device, and software innovations, guiding inventors, startups, and businesses from invention disclosure through drafting, filing, and prosecution. Its trademark side covers searches, applications, filings, and infringement matters, while copyright work extends to visual works, music, software code, and digital media.
The team’s credentials are a central part of its pitch. Managing attorney Darryl E. Scott holds a J.D. and a B.S. in mechanical engineering with a minor in information technology, and is a registered U.S. patent practitioner. Registered patent agent Daniel Polk brings a Pharm.D. and post-graduate biotechnology training, while of counsel JoAnna Luna holds a J.D. and an LLM in international law and works in Spanish and French. The firm presents this mix of legal, engineering, IT, pharmacy, and biotechnology backgrounds as the basis for practical patent strategy rather than generic legal counsel. Consultations are offered free of charge, office hours run 9 AM to 5 PM CST Monday through Friday, and the firm publishes a blog on patent and IP topics alongside featured patent and trademark registrations.
Across 66 ratings averaging 4.90, reviewers most often describe clear explanations, organized workflows, and fast, patient communication. First-time inventors repeatedly note that the process was made understandable, and several mention attention to detail in claim drafting, formal drawings, and Office Action responses. Responsiveness carries through after filing, with clients describing continued availability for questions long after submission. Cost also surfaces regularly, with reviewers calling fees reasonable or affordable and noting budget-conscious guidance; one account describes a corrected continuation application that avoided several thousand dollars in USPTO penalties. Longevity appears too, including a client of eleven years. Individual practitioners, particularly Daniel Polk and Darryl Scott, are frequently named by reviewers.
Coverage is patent-weighted: trademark and copyright engagements are listed and occasionally referenced, but the review record contains far more detail on patent drafting and prosecution.
The office is at 2009 Lubbock St, Houston, TX 77007. The listed telephone number is +1832-446-3337. The practice website is darrylscottlaw.com.
