Through a combination of private practice and government experience, Olson Stein LLP has developed unique expertise in handling intellectual property matters on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants. In patent matters, Olson Stein LLP advises on key decisions, including when to file (or how to respond to) infringement allegations and dispositive motions, including motions to dismiss for subject matter ineligibility and motions for summary judgment. We are also adept at navigating the Markman process, with special consideration given to how individual judges in different districts approach the process, including technology tutorials (e.g., Central District of California, Eastern and Western Districts of Texas, District of Delaware).

Having participated in various roles across a combined total of more than 30 patent trials, we can guide you through key trial strategy decisions, including drafting and responding to motions in limine, preparing jury instructions and verdict forms, conducting voir dire, selecting and presenting experts, crafting an efficient and effective courtroom presentation, effectively using exhibits, and teaching complex concepts to the court and jury.

Our intellectual property experience also includes trademark, trade secret, and copyright litigation and pre-litigation matters. We also provide guidance on IP licensing best practices and have assisted clients with nationwide licensing and sub-licensing matters.

We are available to serve as lead counsel, co-counsel, local counsel, or on a consulting basis in all types of IP matters. Out-of-district lawyers who wish to litigate before districts in which we practice regularly trust us to serve as strategic local counsel, participating in all aspects of litigation, and providing key insight into local rules, practices, and judicial preferences.
