Patent Litigation

Patent disputes often occur when a company is accused of making, selling, or using technology that is protected by another party’s patent. Because patents often involve complex technologies and significant research and development investment, these disputes require a careful analysis of both the underlying technology and the legal scope of the patent claims.

Leason Ellis acts for both patent owners and accused infringers in patent disputes across the United States. Our litigators combine strong technical understanding with the ability to explain complex innovations clearly to judges, juries, and decision-makers. We handle patent litigation in federal district courts nationwide, including appeals before the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and represent clients in proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the International Trade Commission (ITC).

Our team collaborates closely with clients, inventors, and technical experts to assess infringement and validity issues and craft a litigation strategy tailored to broader business goals. Depending on the situation, that strategy might include targeted motion practice, negotiated resolution, or trial. Throughout the process, we aim to safeguard our clients’ technology, maintain commercial standing, and advance business priorities with the right level of pressure.
