Guide to Patent Policies of Standards-Development Organizations, Second Edition

I am a partner in the Washington, D.C., office of Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe, where I practice antitrust and competition law. Focusing on all areas of U.S. and EU competition law, I emphasize in antitrust and intellectual property issues involving technology markets. I have extensive experience representing clients in government investigations related to monopolization and abuse of dominance, mergers and acquisitions, and high-stakes antitrust and intellectual property litigation, including the burgeoning areas of standards-essential patents and patent-assertion entities. I also advise clients regarding the strategic use of patents, intellectual property licensing, interoperability, tying/bundling, pricing, distribution, and competitor collaborations. I have participated in six trials in federal/state courts and appears regularly before the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the European Commission Directorate General for Competition, the U.S. International Trade Commission, and various State Attorneys General offices. Areas of practice: antitrust and competition law, monopolization, abuse of dominance, mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property.
