Patent Litigation

Corey’s law practice primarily involves patent litigation in the high technology space. He has been a core team member or lead counsel on every variety of such litigation: including defending clients like DirecTV, Google, Comcast, LinkedIn, and SanDisk from patent assertion entities; and protecting startups like New Relic, Pure Storage, and Zscaler from competitor patent assertion campaigns.

For the last eight years, Corey practiced on the plaintiff side, bringing funded (and unfunded) contingency litigations for individual inventor and smaller enterprise plaintiffs. He found success against some of the world’s biggest technology companies and their global law firms, including Samsung, Apple, Lenovo, Microsoft, Huawei, Cisco, Nintendo, and others.

Corey is available to apply his long experience to help inventive companies or litigation funders with patent litigation diligence, development, and strategy. He is available as co-counsel to fill gaps or bolster aspects of ongoing cases. He is also open to longer term engagements or associations with firms that have a portfolio of cases in need of proven, trial-focused litigation experience.

Technical Consulting

Corey has a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering (Computers), and was an accomplished working engineer for eight years prior to law school. This career experience, relatively unique among lawyers, has helped him to become particularly skilled and effective at the technical aspects of patent litigation: due diligence, infringement contentions and reverse engineering, code and design review, developing expert reports and testimony, and cross-examination of engineer and expert witnesses.

He is available to consult with and help litigation teams develop or execute their technical assertions (or defenses), or to ground their damages case in real-world technical benefits.

Appeals

Corey is currently lead counsel on two appeals to the Federal Circuit, and has authored or co-authored appeal briefs in many more cases. He has also written drafts of more than a dozen appellate opinions as a judicial clerk. He has a deep and informed understanding of what works, and does not work, in appellate advocacy.

If you have a patent case gone wrong, and do not want, or are unable, to pay an elite appellate group thousands an hour to discuss it on the clock, Corey can provide the same or better talent and expertise for remarkably less.

USPTO Proceedings

For three recent years, Corey was ranked among the most successful attorneys in the country at defending patents from inter partes reviews and ex parte reexaminations.

He is available to work as as “backup counsel” with registered patent attorneys; drafting papers and arguing positions that can defeat strong challenges, while preserving claim scope and value for litigation. And he is also in the process of becoming registered with the USPTO to operate as solo or lead PTAB counsel.
