We prosecute and defend semiconductor patent claims across the United States, including in such key jurisdictions as the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Central Districts of California, the Eastern District of Texas, and the District of Delaware. 

We have comprehensive experience in each stage of patent litigation, from preliminary injunction hearings, Markman hearings, and International Trade Commission investigations to trials by jury and bench. 

We prosecute patents in a wide range of technical areas, including analog and digital circuit design, complex mixed-signal integrated circuits, general semiconductor fabrication and process patents (e.g., CMP, CVD, ALD, lithography, and electrochemical deposition/polishing). Our experience also includes baseband processors, volatile and nonvolatile memory, inverters, regulators, high speed serial bus integrated circuits, probing/testing technologies, and semiconductor structures and integration flows. 

Our team comprises more than 120 lawyers and agents, all registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and many of whom bring robust industry experience as practicing engineers or hold advanced technical degrees.

We deftly manage multifaceted litigation involving the full spectrum of intellectual property (IP) concerns, as well as antitrust, securities, contractual, product warranty, and distributor disputes.

Our services include licensing, research, development, supply, distribution, consulting and service agreements, outsourcing, joint ventures and strategic alliances, patent licensing programs, internet and e-commerce, marketing, promotional and merchandising agreements, and IP auditing and counseling. 

We assist semiconductor companies in private and public debt and equity transactions, technology transfer, mergers and acquisitions, due diligence reviews, secured transactions, research and development arrangements, sales and supply agreements, antitrust and standard-setting activities, corporate governance, and employee benefits and executive compensation. 

We support semiconductor startups in their early stages, from the formation of entities to securing venture capital. We also frequently act as outside counsel, addressing the various day-to-day legal matters that emerge for these enterprises.
