Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP’s practice is adept at the full range of IP litigation, often representing leading tech and telecoms companies, such as Verizon and T-Mobile. In this vein, the team recently scored a victory for Verizon regarding 5G wireless technology patent infringement. The practice is also well-equipped to defend its clients against non-practicing entities. With the ability to litigate complex patent cases from discovery to trial and appeal, Kate Dominguez co-chairs the department with fellow litigators Josh Krevitt and Jane Love. Krevitt focuses on high-stakes patent litigation spanning wireless technologies, ANDA litigation, telecommunications hardware and semiconductors. The ‘compelling and persuasive’ Jane Love specialises in pharmaceutical and biotechnology patents, with extensive experience in Hatch-Waxman and BPCIA cases. Brian Rosenthal, who clients laud as ’one of the best trial lawyers’ observed in court, is another key tech patent litigator, with particular success at the Court of Appeals. Additionally, in Washington DC, Brian Buroker brings well-rounded experience in different patents, spanning the medical device, pharma and high-tech sectors. All named attorneys are based in New York unless otherwise stated.

‘The Gibson Dunn team is responsive to client concerns and understands how to match its representation and team composition to client needs. ’
‘Jane Love is deliberate, clear and thorough in her legal analysis. Her approach to complex legal issues is compelling and persuasive. She is also able to think creatively about legal questions and deliver results for her clients. ’
‘The team is very strong in its understanding of the relevant technology and developing noninfringement and invalidity arguments. They have gotten the other side to drop patents in several cases. The team's oral advocacy skills are also very impressive and they have a deep bench for attorneys who can argue in court.’
‘Brian Rosenthal is very impressive. He is lead counsel and one of the best trial lawyers I've observed in court. Remarkably, he also knows the technical details of all the cases and works with his team to develop winning arguments. The team as a whole works hard and strategizes to win.’
‘The Gibson IP team is superior to any other I have worked with. They work supremely well together and with our internal team. They are creative and detail-oriented. We had them review a matter that two other reputable firms had worked on for years, and in our first meeting they identified new evidence, new lines of argument, and creative resolutions that each were compelling. It was very impressive. I also view the Gibson team as the most prepared to go to trial, and to win. ’
‘Stand-outs include: Mark Reiter and Betty Yang (Dallas office), Ashbey Morgan (Dallas), Scott Roe (New York), Anne Brody and Andrew Blythe (Orange County).'
