Sarah E. Fowler

Sarah Fowler advocates for clients both in district court and in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). She has particular experience litigating cases involving digital rights management, device authentication, streaming media, video game technology, network security, and enterprise data warehousing.

Sarah offers clients significant trial experience, including a seven-week jury trial in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia on behalf of an international chemical manufacturer. She also has a track record of securing early victories for her clients. In one patent case in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, she prevailed at summary judgment and won a complete award of attorneys' fees under Section 285, totaling over a million dollars.

Sarah's prior experience as a patent agent enables her to understand the nuances of practice before the USPTO. In addition to litigating intellectual property disputes for tech clients, she also litigates shareholder disputes, contract disputes, and class-action matters, and advises clients on patent acquisitions.
