Outside of the office, Ben is an avid soccer player and fan — he watches or plays in some capacity every day. He is also a committed traveler with a personal goal of visiting at least two new countries each year, a pursuit that reflects his curiosity, adaptability, and enthusiasm for new experiences.
Ben Stinebruner is an Intellectual Property Paralegal in the Patent group at Gray Ice Higdon. Since joining the firm in 2022, he has built a reputation for being highly organized, responsive, and strategically minded—qualities that make him a trusted resource for clients managing active patent portfolios. Ben works across client types, from individual inventors to large technology companies, helping them protect their innovations through careful docketing, timely filings, and proactive portfolio management.
What distinguishes Ben from other IP paralegals is his academic background in both Chemistry and Computer Science. That scientific and technical fluency allows him to engage more deeply with the subject matter of the patents he manages—particularly in technology-driven fields—and to bring a more informed perspective to every matter he handles.
Ben’s work encompasses the full operational cycle of patent prosecution and portfolio management:
Ben approaches his work with calm precision and thorough preparation. Clients and colleagues alike describe him as organized, punctual, and efficient — a paralegal who manages complexity without losing sight of the details that matter most.
Ben joined Gray Ice Higdon in December 2022, beginning his paralegal career in one of the firm’s most technically demanding practice groups. Prior to entering the legal field, he earned a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Centre College and completed a post-baccalaureate certificate in Computer Science from Tufts University. His background in the sciences gives him a natural affinity for the technical subject matter at the heart of patent work.
