As a patent litigation powerhouse, we represent clients in their highest-profile and most complex patent disputes in the tech, life sciences, and the consumer products industries.

We stand out for our superb knowledge of patent law, experience with judges in high-volume patent venues, and facility with explaining cutting-edge technologies to juries.
Over the last five years alone, we have litigated more than 300 patent disputes in the most active district courts in the nation, including the Eastern and Western Districts of Texas, the District of Delaware, and the Northern and Central Districts of California. We regularly appear before agencies and tribunals such as the International Trade Commission (ITC) and the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). And when IP cases make their way to the Federal Circuit or Supreme Court, our experienced bench of appellate lawyers can help clients successfully navigate the appellate process. We also have significant experience litigating in global forums, including in Japan and Germany.
