Hannah Jiam is a partner in Morrison Foerster’s Intellectual Property Litigation practice.

Hannah’s practice focuses on the intersection of technology and law, and she brings extensive experience counseling clients and litigating patent, copyright, trademark, and administrative law matters involving a broad range of technologies, including software, medical devices, and pharmaceutical drugs.

Hannah’s recent wins in the past year include securing a clean sweep plaintiff’s verdict in a Delaware patent infringement trial involving e-commerce marketing technology; obtaining dismissal of a patent infringement action following a motion to dismiss on behalf of a defendant; and prevailing on summary judgment of noninfringement as to all three patents asserted by a competitor.

Hannah clerked for Judge Kathleen O’Malley in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and Chief Judge Rodney Gilstrap in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Hannah is a former prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, where she represented and argued on behalf of the U.S. federal government in the general misdemeanors unit.

Prior to joining the firm, Hannah was an attorney at Durie Tangri LLP, a premier trial litigation boutique firm that later combined with Morrison Foerster in 2023.

Hannah earned her J.D. from the UC Berkeley School of Law, where she was a Robert Barr scholar, co-president of the Patent Law Society, and a student board member of the UC Berkeley Center for Law & Technology. She received a B.S., with honors, in biomedical engineering from Johns Hopkins University.
