John Evans has consistently delivered results for clients in dozens of intellectual property matters, including summary judgment defense wins in recent high-stakes patent infringement cases.

John has handled all phases of patent litigation, from prelitigation investigations up to appeal. He has briefed and argued Markman and summary judgment, handled expert and fact depositions, served on trial teams in bench and jury trials, and authored many important briefs. Recent highlights include two summary judgment wins on behalf of accused infringers, an across the board ruling of noninfringement in one of the highest stakes design patent infringement cases in U.S. history and an early invalidity judgment at the Markman stage in a pharmaceutical patent case. He also recently won favorable claim construction rulings and successfully defeated petitions seeking institution of inter partes review.
