IP & Complex Litigation

Patent Litigation

I represent clients in patent infringement disputes in federal courts. My engineering background enables me to quickly grasp complex technologies and collaborate effectively with technical experts — I have worked on cases involving signal transmissions, gas chromatography, LED manufacturing, and medical devices while at an international law firm. I handle all phases of patent litigation, from pre-suit investigation through trial and appeal, including claim construction proceedings, PTAB petitions and responses, and inter partes review.

Trade Secret Litigation

Trade secrets are often a company's most valuable assets. I have significant experience protecting and enforcing trade secret rights under both the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act and state law. As part of a trial team at an international law firm, I helped secure a $66M verdict and injunctive relief for a Silicon Valley tech company in a trade secret case involving LED manufacturing technology. I handle cases involving misappropriation by former employees, competitors, and business partners, as well as emergency injunctive relief to stop ongoing harm.

Trademark Litigation

I prosecute and defend trademark infringement, dilution, and unfair competition claims in federal court and before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. I currently represent a startup defending against trademark infringement allegations, and my approach combines aggressive enforcement with practical business considerations to achieve outcomes that protect your brand.

Complex Commercial Disputes

Many business disputes involve technology, intellectual property, or both. I handle complex commercial litigation where technical understanding matters, including breach of contract claims involving software development agreements, licensing disputes, and partnership disputes in technology ventures. At an international consulting firm, I also supported corporate transactions, including client and vendor agreements by conducting IP due diligence.
