Summary
Brad Biddle is a principal and founder of Biddle Law PC, a Portland-based boutique firm providing outside general counsel services to global standards-setting organizations, open source foundations, and technology consortia. He brings two decades of experience guiding interoperability and IP strategy across sectors including AI, cloud/edge, cybersecurity, graphics, IoT, and core internet infrastructure, having previously led Intel’s SIGs and Standards Practice Group. A seasoned practitioner and academic, he is a Faculty Fellow at ASU’s Center for Law, Science and Innovation and a former Stanford CIS fellow who teaches and publishes on standards development methodologies. Brad combines in-house, firm, and startup perspectives—having served as general counsel at MP3.com and founded open-hardware/open-source ventures like OpenBike—so he understands both cutting-edge technical ecosystems and the practical legal frameworks that enable them. Not obvious from titles alone: he has repeatedly moved between policy, corporate counsel, and hands-on venture work, uniquely positioning him to translate complex technical collaboration problems into workable governance and IP solutions.
