Testimonials

‘For several years I have worked with Mayer Brown’s patent litigation team, led by partners Jamie Beaber, Tripp Fussell, and Don Min. We represent mutual clients such as Maxell and Pantech in global litigation matters. The partners—especially Tripp Fussell—are highly knowledgeable, responsive, and pragmatic, which has been essential to our success in global patent litigation.’
‘Tripp Fussell, as mentioned above, is outstanding — he is knowledgeable, responsive, and reasonable in SEP litigation. Don Min is also an excellent litigator who understands the ins and outs of U.S. patent litigation on both the offensive and defensive sides. Tatsuya Koyama is also very helpful in client communication and in coordinating global litigation; Maxell has been litigating against implementers, including smartphone manufacturers, around the world.’
‘Plenty of experiences of district court trials and ITC proceedings.’
