Federal district court is where most patent cases are won or lost, and the path from complaint to verdict is long, expensive, and full of forks. We litigate patent infringement and validity disputes from early case assessment through trial and post-trial motions, making early calls about which arguments to invest in so you are not paying to chase every theory to the end.
The Venues That Matter
Patent litigation clusters in a handful of districts with their own local rules, scheduling habits, and judges who see these cases constantly. We litigate in the Eastern and Western Districts of Texas, the District of Delaware, the Northern District of California, and other active patent forums, and we factor each court's local practice into how we plan the case from the first filing.
Full Litigation Lifecycle
We cover the whole arc: pre-suit investigation and case assessment, pleadings, claim construction briefing and Markman hearings, fact and expert discovery, summary judgment, trial, and post-trial motions. Claim construction usually sets the trajectory of the case, so we treat the Markman phase as a priority rather than a procedural box to check, building infringement and validity positions that survive it.
Coordinating Parallel Proceedings
District court cases rarely stand alone; they run alongside ITC investigations and PTAB challenges that can stay, narrow, or reshape them. We manage those tracks together, timing a stay motion or a parallel petition to your advantage while watching estoppel risk, so the moves in one forum strengthen your position rather than boxing you in elsewhere.
Technical Depth
Our attorneys started out building software, so we engage with the accused technology directly instead of leaning entirely on consultants. That lets us pick the right experts, frame claim terms that match how the technology actually works, and develop infringement and non-infringement theories that are both accurate and persuasive to a lay jury.
