Technical and Scientific Knowledge
From technology, SaaS and ecommerce to games and entertainment to healthcare and biotech, we represent companies on the leading edge, enabling us to quickly learn our clients’ business objectives, understand the patent landscape and pursue the optimal strategy. Many of our patent professionals have advanced technical degrees and business experience in disciplines including computer science, electrical engineering, chemistry and molecular biology.
Cross-Disciplined Team and Approach
Fenwick’s collaborative team combines a deep bench of strong prosecutors, litigators and other patent experts, which allows us to think critically about timing and approach to offensive and defensive PTAB procedures. Lawyers in our PTAB practice frequently bridge the gap between prosecution and litigation, combining technical know-how with IP litigation expertise. We leverage years of extensive experience in patent reexamination proceedings and parallel litigation to develop cost-effective, business-focused strategies.
PTAB Experience
Our experience at the PTAB dates back to its beginnings, and we have continually represented emerging and market-leading technology and life science companies in inter partes reviews (IPR), post-grant reviews (PGR), ex parte reexaminations, derivation proceedings, as a stand-alone approach to resolution, as well as a component of a larger IP litigation strategy. Fenwick lawyers regularly appear in front of the Board, representing both petitioners and patent owners, oftentimes in parallel with district court cases. We draw upon our familiarity with the people and processes, the PTAB’s evolution and our experience to develop new strategies and approaches as the venue evolves. To date, we have handled nearly 200 IPRs and PGRs.
