Trusted Advisor on every aspect of developing Intellectual Property, including litigation, licensing, and negotiations. I have been involved in over 550 patent litigations, and as lead counsel in the last 300 cases. To date, we have cost effectively handled 185+ Inter Parties Reviews (IPRs) proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and 50+ appeals at the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC). Before starting Etheridge Law Group, I served thirteen years as General Counsel and Vice President of Strategic Relations at a multinational Silicon Valley leader successfully executing upon multiple concurrent projects and providing innovative strategic advice to C-level management. I developed a unique reputation for providing a results-driven profitable approach with cost-effective and timely solutions to every business and litigation matter.
