ABOUT DOROTHIE LAGUERRE SMITH

As Patent & Trade Secret Counsel at Meta and lead counsel for our Research & Development teams—I partner with engineers, product teams, and business leaders to manage and expand a robust patent portfolio. My work includes crafting patent filing strategies, delivering legal guidance on intellectual property matters, and supporting cross-functional teams in litigation and licensing, all while leveraging AI to drive operational efficiencies. I have built a unique career supporting clients at every stage—from research and development to product launch. This path has allowed me to provide tailored expertise to clients at each phase of the product lifecycle. My greatest strength—and source of joy—is collaborating with people from diverse backgrounds and communities, as I believe that inclusive teamwork drives innovation and meaningful impact.
