Dargaye is well-versed in the practices of courts throughout the country where he has effectively represented clients, including the Northern, Central, and Southern Districts of California, the Eastern and Western Districts of Texas, the Eastern District of Virginia, the District of Delaware, and the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. And, as a registered patent attorney before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Dargaye has developed a robust and successful inter partes review practice. He routinely wins decisions from the USPTO that patent claims asserted against his clients in litigation are invalid.

In addition to patent litigation, Dargaye also has extensive experience drafting and prosecuting patent applications. He has worked closely with inventors to capture all aspects of their innovations and has drafted applications that withstand both the USPTO’s scrutiny to grant a patent as well as any challenges to patentability that may arise through litigation. Dargaye also leverages his experience as a patent examiner at the USPTO, where he worked for three years before law school. There, he reviewed the applications filed by inventors to determine whether to grant a patent for the disclosed technology.

Dargaye’s experience litigating, drafting, and examining patents gives him a unique perspective and ability to identify a patent’s strengths and weaknesses.

Dargaye also enjoys an active and diverse pro bono practice. He has served on the advisory board of Swords to Plowshares, where he represented a Vietnam war veteran to obtain long-awaited benefits from the VA. Dargaye more recently worked with a Fenwick team to obtain a preliminary injunction to block a portion of Georgia’s voter restriction law. In other representative matters, Dargaye has prepared patent applications for low-income inventors, obtained a decision that a landlord could not improperly evict its low-income tenant, and won damages for a prison inmate who was assaulted by security guards.
