Mitch Santos is an associate in Morrison Foerster’s Los Angeles office and a member of the Intellectual Property Litigation Group.

Mitch represents clients in intellectual property and business disputes, with a focus on matters involving complex technologies. He has experience litigating high-stakes trade secret, copyright, trademark, and patent disputes in federal and state courts and before the International Trade Commission, spanning industries such as artificial intelligence, software, video games and gaming consoles, telecommunications, and consumer goods.

Mitch’s practice reflects his longstanding interest in figuring out how things work. He brings that curiosity to each matter, developing a thorough understanding of the technologies at issue so that he can present them clearly and persuasively to courts and juries.

Mitch earned his J.D. from Harvard Law School, where he was an articles editor for the Latinx Law Review and a student attorney in the Cyberlaw Clinic. He later served as a teaching fellow for the law school’s introductory copyright law course. He received his B.A. summa cum laude in legal studies from the University of California, Berkeley.
