Sumedha Ahuja

In addition to procuring patents in these fields—both in the United States and internationally—Sumedha evaluates third-party patent portfolios; counsels clients on avoiding patent infringement; and mines client patent portfolios to identify assets for licensing/monetization, patent infringement counterclaims, and divestment. She has also represented both patent owners and petitioners before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board in post-grant proceedings. 

Sumedha is recognized as a leading lawyer by numerous organizations, including Chambers USA, where clients praise her for “[understanding] the intersection of AI patenting better than anyone I have come across,” being “astonishingly perceptive in understanding AI” due to her software engineering background, and having a “really great background to support emerging technologies.” She is also named to the Intellectual Asset Management Patent 1000 list for guiding clients through risks and challenges in computer software and AI. 

Prior to practicing law, Sumedha was a software engineer at Sapient Corp., where she designed, developed, and deployed software solutions for large enterprise clients. As a graduate student at McGill University, Sumedha was a member of both the Mobile Robotics Lab and the Reasoning and Learning Lab, where she focused her research on developing recommendation systems using various machine learning techniques.
