Jason Croft is the Global Chair of Patent Procurement and Strategy and a Shareholder in Buchalter's Salt Lake City office.

Mr. Croft is at the forefront in driving a large-scale industry shift to a more business-minded approach to IP. He is frequently called upon to help companies forge new paths to profitability and to transform legal departments from "cost-centers" to "profit-centers". As part of this approach, he actively manages patent-related matters for some of the world's most innovative public and private companies. He is equally adept at patent procurement and IP portfolio strategy, as he is at managing IP transactions, conducting IP due diligence, and leading post-grant proceedings.

Mr. Croft's technical expertise spans a broad array of cutting-edge disciplines, including artificial intelligence/machine learning and agentic implementations, telecommunications, virtual and augmented reality, 5G and IEEE wireless standards, autonomous vehicles, robotics, computer architecture, software, cryptography, biometrics, cryptocurrencies, integrated circuits, decarbonization, nuclear, and semiconductors.
