Matt's practice includes the preparation and prosecution of patent applications as well as assisting in the Firm's litigation cases. He has successfully prepared and prosecuted inventions in a wide variety of technologies including chemical, pharmaceutical, medical device, and diagnostic technologies. Matt’s litigation experience includes the successful defense of a retaliatory trade secret misappropriation claim and he continues to represent the plaintiff in the earlier-filed patent infringement suit. As part of the patent infringement suit, Matt was a member of the team that successfully argued for the patentability in thirteen (13) Inter Partes Review (IPR) trials at the USPTO. Several of these IPR trials ended when the Board refused to institute IPR after Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response and others proceeded to a Final Written Decision finding patentability of the challenged claims. In each of these lawsuits, several hundred million dollars was being sought totaling over half a billion dollars.
