Intellectual Property and Technology Litigation

We litigate high-stakes intellectual property disputes involving patents, copyrights, trademarks, as well as trade secrets.

Our work often involves groundbreaking innovations worth hundreds of millions or billions of dollars, from gene editing technology and life-saving pharmaceuticals to wireless communications, semiconductors, and software.

As plaintiffs or defendants, innovators and technology companies often turn to us at critical moments in a dispute. They hire us to overturn adverse judgments, protect important victories, defeat requests for preliminary relief that could keep products off the market, and challenge Patent Trial and Appeal Board decisions affecting valuable patent rights.

We are particularly known for handling pathmarking patent appeals in the Federal Circuit and precedent-setting intellectual property cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. But our experience extends across the full life cycle of an IP dispute. We represent clients in federal district courts, state courts around the country, the International Trade Commission, domestic and international arbitrations, and the Patent Trial and Appeal Board.

That experience across forums allows us to develop and execute an integrated strategy in complex, multijurisdictional disputes. We help clients navigate parallel and successive proceedings, including the interplay between inter partes reviews at the PTAB, district court litigation, and subsequent appeals. We understand how a decision made in one forum can shape the arguments and opportunities available in another.

Our practice is international in scope. We represent companies and inventors from the United States and around the world in cross-border disputes, including matters involving parallel proceedings in the United States, Europe, and Asia.

Because we represent both plaintiffs and defendants, we can anticipate the other side’s next move. We always keep the endgame in mind, whether the objective is prevailing at trial, stopping a competitor, defending a breakthrough product, invalidating a patent, or reversing an adverse decision on appeal.
