Dan focuses on patent litigation in federal courts, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), and before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Daniel Keese particularly enjoys such technology areas as semiconductor devices, e-commerce, video coding, wireless standards, analog circuits, and medical devices. Dan's patent litigation practice has allowed him to gain experience, including trial experience in courts across the country, as well as in post-grant proceedings before the USPTO and in ITC actions.
In addition to patent litigation, Dan has litigated trade secret and unfair competition claims, and he has served in an intellectual property counseling role.
Dan brings his experience in litigation and his knowledge of technologies, especially regarding electronics, semiconductors, and communications theory, to bear when solving problems for his clients. Highlights include obtaining a preliminary injunction in a semiconductor case, ITC victories, and three jury trial wins in a set of related competitor lawsuit trials.
