Seattle Patent Litigation Attorney
Patent litigation is federal litigation with specialized rules, expert-intensive proof, and significant cost. We represent plaintiffs and defendants in patent cases, with an emphasis on early case assessment, targeted discovery planning, and strategies that align with business objectives rather than “litigation for litigation’s sake.”
The key leverage points are often technical and procedural: claim construction posture, prior art strength, damages theories, and the ability to obtain or defeat injunctive relief. We help clients map those issues early and make informed decisions about settlement, licensing, PTAB coordination, or trial.
Use the chatbot to understand patent lawsuit stages and leverage points
If you’re still evaluating your options, try our custom (experimental) RAG chatbot for general educational information about patent litigation—such as common stages of a federal patent case, what claim construction affects, the role of experts and discovery, and how PTAB proceedings can influence scheduling and settlement. The chatbot provides general information only and does not offer case-specific legal advice. When you are ready to discuss your case posture and objectives, you can schedule a meeting with Mitchell.
