Jonathan Pearce is a partner and intellectual property attorney with over two decades of experience helping startups and enterprises convert inventions into strategic assets, specializing in patents, trademarks, licensing, and adversarial USPTO proceedings. Grounded in a technical B.S. in computer science and an MBA/J.D. from Pepperdine, he brings deep domain knowledge in interactive entertainment, digital audio/video encoding, and AI-era software technologies.

An active early-stage investor through Ark Reactor, he favors founders working at the intersection of AI, spatial computing, and immersive media — a perspective that informs both his legal strategies and hands-on business judgment.
