Patent Litigation
Unlike many of our competitors, we provide a full range of patent infringement services - we represent both plaintiffs and defendants, and clients ranging from large established corporations to individual inventors. Because of this, our attorneys possess a unique understanding of patent owners' settlement and litigation strategies as well as accused infringers' settlement and litigation strategies. For example, we are currently defending our clients in numerous patent litigations filed by so-called non-practicing entities ("NPEs") as well as representing NPEs in asserting their patents against infringers.
Our litigation experience covers the full range of the litigation life cycle - from the litigation planning stage, motion practice, discovery, pre-trial, trial, and appeal. Many of our attorneys have technical backgrounds and are members of the Patent Bar, and several have advanced technical degrees.
We have extensive experience practicing before the most common forums of patent litigation, including the U.S. International Trade Commission ("ITC"), Eastern District of Texas, Northern District of California, Central District of California, District of Delaware, and Eastern District of Virginia.
