With a strong bench of wide ranging technical expertise combined with a team of first-chair litigators versed in the intricacies of trial practice, Akerman operates at the intersection of law and technology. We litigate patents in federal courts throughout the country, including patent litigation hotspots such as the Eastern and Western Districts of Texas, District of Delaware, Patent Trial and Appeal Board, International Trade Commission, Federal Circuit, and the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, where we assert and defend petitions for IPR and other America Invents Act (AIA) post-grant challenges.
Our experience involves diverse technologies ranging from semiconductor processing, medical devices, fiber optic telecommunications, Internet-based auction systems, sensors, automotive parts and systems, wireless communications, GPS technology, mechanical and electrical systems, electronics, computer hardware, software, and internet protocols. Globally recognized Fortune 100 technology companies as well as middle market innovators, entrepreneurs, and inventors turn to Akerman to protect their rights and assert or defend against claims of infringement.
With former in-house patent counsel among our ranks, our perspective and experience are shaped by the business needs frequently driving litigation strategy. We approach cases in collaboration with our clients and craft strategies within the context of the overall business. In addition to the technical and procedural aspects of patent disputes, we are adept at framing, distilling, and communicating the often complex issues and technologies inherent in patent litigation for judges and juries.
