Jeffrey Jacobstein – Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner LLP

Boston-based patent expert Jeffrey Jacobstein and Washington DC-based Erika Harmon Arner , Anand Sharma and PTAB trial expert Joshua Goldberg lead Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner LLP‘s team, which is described as a powerhouse for all IP matters’. The firm handles the full spectrum of IP services for its national and international client base, notably representing AstraZeneca in patent prosecution and strategic counseling matters, with Washington DC’s Jill MacAlpine playing a key role. DC’s Adriana L. Burgy leads on cross-jurisdictional, environmentally significant work for BASF. The team also handles complex matters for clients in the technological and electrical sectors, an example being its current work assisting Alibaba on cloud computing, AI and blockchain-related patent drafting and prosecution work, as well as advising on high-value PTAB matters. In the Atlanta office, specialist in mechanical, electrical, computer and medical device technologies Benjamin Saidman and the ‘super smart’ Kara Specht are key up-and-coming names. Palo Alto’s Arpita Bhattacharyya has a developing specialism in post-grant proceeding matters.
