My Why
What powers my practice
Since I was young, I loved working with my hands and anything to do with cars and motorcycles, so I knew engineering would be fulfilling. But I also loved to read and write, and when I discovered patent law through a book in middle school, it felt like the perfect blend of both interests. Today, I enjoy working closely with engineers to understand the mechanics of their inventions and help capture those ideas in a patent. At heart, I’m still an engineer—one who now uses the law to protect innovation.

Prior to joining Michael Best, Masroor gained experience as a design engineer for a Milwaukee-based power tool manufacturer.

He led cross-functional teams that included both technical and non-technical team members, launched multiple power tools generating more than $25 million in sales, and mentored junior engineers. His background in interpreting and designing around patents, combined with hands-on expertise in manufacturing processes and product development, informs his approach to patent law, and allows him to communicate business needs to a technical audience. Before joining the firm full-time, Masroor also completed Michael Best’s Summer Associate program.
