Patent Litigation

The Webb Law Firm’s patent litigation team represents a wide range of international clients across many industries and technologies. Our patent litigators have experience in all aspects of litigation, including motion practice, discovery, Markman hearings, expert discovery, and trial. Our extensive trial experience includes favorable jury verdicts in several notable cases, including the invalidation of the “shopping cart” e-commerce patents. We have litigated cases in some of the busiest patent dockets in the country, including the Eastern District of Texas, the District of Delaware, the Northern District of Illinois, the Central District of California, the Southern District of Florida and the International Trade Commission (ITC).

Our approach to patent litigation focuses on the strategic needs of our clients’ businesses and their long-term goals. Whether our clients desire a negotiated business solution, a cost-effective settlement or principled litigation, our litigation team provides them with the support and expertise they need to successfully resolve their patent disputes. The Webb Law Firm’s patent litigation team also protects our clients’ innovations through specially tailored IP enforcement strategies when our clients’ rights are infringed, and by defending against improper accusations of infringement. We draw on our technical expertise and broad experience to help solve companies’ most complex patent-related challenges. Our network of technical experts are also ready to lend their hand in explaining complex technology and building a case against our clients’ opponents.

Our experience ranges across a wide spectrum of technologies, including building materials, flooring tile, construction equipment, manufacturing, chemical composition, Internet & web applications, mobile devices and applications, data processing & storage, sensing and monitoring, cryptography, big data analytics, networking hardware & software, distributed computing, e-commerce, medical devices, software, financial tools & instruments, mining, drilling, petroleum and natural gas engineering, biotech and plants. In addition to being experienced litigators, our patent attorneys are registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and often hold degrees in areas such as electrical engineering, computer science, chemistry, chemical and mechanical engineering, physics or biology.

In addition, The Webb Law Firm has a track record of success in defeating vexatious patent claims and, in some cases, recovering attorneys’ fees. Our technical prowess is the driving force behind this success. Whether the target of broad and ambiguous patent assertions by unscrupulous litigants or in the middle of hotly contested infringement cases between competing companies, our focused IP lawyers can help.
