[edit] Patent Litigation

Sonnenschein’s Patent Litigation Group has over 50 attorneys, including more than 35 registered patent attorneys, former Federal Circuit clerks, patent examiners, and trial court clerks. We routinely represent clients in complex patent actions, many of which involve multiple patents and jurisdictions. Collectively, our attorneys have litigated nearly 200 patent cases in district courts across the country and regularly appear before the United States International Trade Commission (ITC).

[edit] Skilled Advocacy

The Patent Litigation Group offers clients seasoned, trial-tested attorneys who focus exclusively on patent litigation. Unlike some patent litigation practices, our attorneys possess both technical expertise and extensive trial experience. As a result, we quickly grasp the complex technologies at issue in the cases we litigate. That in turn allows Sonnenschein’s Patent Litigation Group to try cases more efficiently for our clients.

[edit] International Scope

The Patent Litigation Group includes a group of experienced ITC litigators, including former ITC attorney-advisors, who frequently appear in “Section 337” investigations. Having litigated before the ITC for years, Sonnenschein Patent Litigation Group lawyers have successfully tried Section 337 patent infringement actions involving semiconductors, software, consumer electronics, and pharmaceuticals. Consequently, Sonnenschein’s Patent Litigation Group is experienced in litigating cases involving entities residing outside the United States, particularly in Taiwan and China.

[edit] Technical and Industry Experience

The Patent Litigation Group is composed of lawyers who are graduates of some of the nation’s leading law schools and graduate institutions. Our patent attorneys possess bachelor's degrees and advanced degrees in various fields including engineering, computer science, and biochemistry.

[edit] Full-service Firm Support

Clients utilizing the services of the Patent Litigation Group also can benefit from the services offered by Sonnenschein’s other practice groups, including the Intellectual Property & Technology Group and the Asia Pacific practice.

[edit] Intellectual Property

Sonnenschein’s Intellectual Property & Technology (IPT) practice includes some 30 licensed patent attorneys with technical expertise in electrical engineering and semiconductors; computer science and cryptography; telecommunications; aerospace and mechanical engineering; and chemistry, pharmaceutical, biotech and medical devices. Our experienced patent lawyers include several with Ph.D.’s in fields such as botany, molecular genetics and cell biology. We regularly represent the inventors, creators, owners, licensees and users of patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property. We have managed some of the best-known technology portfolios, brand identities and copyright works. In addition to our work in the prosecution of patent, trademark and copyright applications before the relevant government agencies domestically and internationally, we are known for our strategic approach in counseling and transactions, helping our clients achieve the results they seek in their intellectual property matters.
