About Steven
Biography
I am an experienced intellectual property attorney who moved my successful, Lancaster-based solo law practice to Saxton & Stump in 2023. I have been working in patent and trademark law for more than 20 years, obtaining numerous patents and trademarks for my clients. I approach my clients’ legal challenges from a personal perspective of an entrepreneur as the former owner, founder and only attorney at the former Law office of Steven O’Donnell, Ph.D. Using my former company’s “Create. Consult. Control.” mantra, I help businesses realize the value of their intellectual property and to protect it for the success of their company. I have secured patents for inventions as diverse as T-ball equipment for children, a bottle opener, a hydraulic stake puller, a continually operable separation centrifuge, a microbiological waste water treatment device and the chemical synthesis of a plant growth regulator.
In addition to the patents I have already helped my clients secure, I have dozens pending in front of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and also have a large portfolio of trademark registrations and applications under my management. Before I started my solo legal practice in 2009, I worked in cases of complex litigation, focusing on class actions, antitrust and intellectual property.

Honest Attorney
Steve is an honest guy which is why I chose him. He was upfront and realistic about the costs and the possible outcomes of a settlement he helped negotiate for me. He kept me informed during the process. I would recommend him without any reservations.

My sincere gratitude of your concern and expertise in your knowledge of my case.

Gives Lawyers a Good Name
Steve was referred by a top attorney who recommended him above and beyond any other lawyers in this area. He is everything you would want in a lawyer and rarely find. Dedicated, knowledgeable, responsive, compassionate but not wimpy - not one bit. This guy is tough, savvy, bold, to the point and real...

Steve got the job done quickly and effectively.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I knew Steve as a non-client prior to hiring him. Still, I'd never needed an attorney for intellectual property work so I was hesitant about my rights and responsibilities (I know nothing about the field, though I am also a lawyer). Steve handled the entire dispute...
