Patent Litigation
Knowledge of the Technology Sets Us Apart
At the core of Mintz’s patent litigation success is our deep understanding of client technologies. Whether defending against claims of infringement or enforcing a client’s exclusive patent rights, we develop and execute legal strategies informed by that knowledge. Companies like Kowa Pharmaceuticals appreciate that approach. That's why Kowa placed the protection of its innovative cholesterol-lowering pharmaceutical Livalo in our hands.

Our Approach
Patent litigation demands a significant investment of your time and capital. We understand this and work with you to develop and execute litigation strategies that align with your business goals. Each case is unique to the client. One client may want to go to the mat. Another may need to clear the board quickly and move on. Mintz gets it. At the outset — before putting a strategy into place — we help each client assess the options.

We litigate in the most active patent venues in the country and take into account venue- and judge-specific issues in all of our representations. In addition to litigating cases in the leading district courts, we are very active protecting patent rights at the International Trade Commission.
Because we successfully handle cases on behalf of patent owners and accused infringers, we know patent litigation from both sides of the "v." We understand how the other side approaches strategy. And that ability to think like the competition gives us an edge. We also know many of the attorneys who frequent patent litigations — an invaluable advantage when setting a course with a client.
