Career

At the outset, Arlene Chow frames patent litigation matters from the perspective of the judge or jury in order to achieve the best solutions for her clients.

Leveraging her biochemistry experience, Arlene is one of only a handful of lawyers who has been first-chair in district court trials and hearings, federal circuit arguments, and inter partes review hearings before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Arlene is a USPTO-registered patent attorney. She also performs patent due diligence in support of the purchase or sale of drugs or their royalty streams.

Arlene dives deeply into the relevant science and underlying facts before extracting key case themes for development with the case record. She thrives on engaging with in-house and external experts on the science and simplifying the highly technical information in a way that is easy for her clients to digest.

Arlene primarily focuses on life sciences, having worked on matters implicating small molecule and biologic drugs, as well as a wide variety of medical devices and dosage forms.

In May 2020 Arlene led a Hogan Lovells team that secured a major win for BASF in a three-week jury trial in the Eastern District of Virginia. The case was one of the largest patent disputes in the United States, involving 350 claims from 17 patents and five different patent families. Hogan Lovells defeated claims involving 13 patents through successful pre-trial claim construction, and by succeeding at trial in demonstrating to the jury the invalidity of certain patents, and co-ownership of others stemming from a previous collaboration. For the four remaining patents with terms expiring in 2025, the multi-office team persuaded the court not to issue an injunction and define a royalty rate a fraction of that sought.
