Overview
O’Hagan Meyer represents businesses in wide-ranging patent disputes with a trial-ready, practical approach, efficient case management, and a focus on immediate priorities and long-term commercial goals.
Representing companies across industries, including medical devices, technology, computer hardware and software, retail, consumer products, and health care, our attorneys litigate patent matters in federal and state courts nationwide, as well as before administrative and regulatory bodies, including the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. We handle disputes involving utility and design patents, combining technical knowledge, proven trial skills, and industry experience to present clear, compelling cases and explain complex technologies effectively to judges and juries.
Our IP litigators represent businesses in patent infringement cases, asserting and defending their interests, as well as disputes involving licensing, ownership, inventorship, and royalties. Through our national litigation platform, we provide broad geographic reach and deep litigation resources and experience without the layers and inefficiencies often associated with traditional large-law-firm structures.
Many patent disputes extend beyond intellectual property issues, intersecting with commercial contracts, employment matters, unfair competition claims, product liability, and regulatory concerns. These issues can affect product development, market position, contractual relationships, and broader operations, requiring approaches that address legal exposure and commercial risk simultaneously. Drawing on our firm’s capabilities across disciplines, we address overlapping risks and develop coordinated strategies that account for both legal exposure and broader business objectives. This integrated approach often proves critical in complex matters involving parallel claims, multiple jurisdictions, or significant operational implications.
We approach patent litigation with the same philosophy we apply across all disputes: evaluate issues early, identify the legal, technical, and business factors most likely to influence outcomes, assess risk, and develop solutions aligned with the client’s goals. Each matter is prepared as though it will proceed to trial while pursuing the most effective path to resolution, whether through motion practice, negotiation, alternative dispute resolution, or verdict. Clients value our direct communication, efficient staffing, responsiveness, and practical guidance that aligns litigation strategy with their business priorities.
