Career
Greg represents and advises companies in all aspects of patent, copyright, and trade secret law. His 30 years of experience includes acting as lead counsel in jury trials and preliminary injunction hearings, counseling Fortune 500 clients on the creation and management of patent portfolios, designing around competitor patents, leading IP due diligence teams for major M&A transactions, and participating in contested patent office proceedings such as inter partes reviews and reexaminations.
Over the years, Greg has litigated cases in a range of IP practice areas and related to diverse technologies—from oil field tools to polymers, to telecommunications, to pharmaceuticals, and more. For example, he defended Imaging Solutions of Australia against a multi-million dollar copyright infringement claim, first obtaining summary judgment on all plaintiffs’ claims and then obtaining a jury verdict and substantial award on the client’s counterclaims. He also defended Dyna-Drill Technologies in a 13-day jury trial against a damages claim of nearly $60 million for alleged trade secret misappropriation, tortious interference, and breach of contract.
