    Introduction

    Taylor E. Pfeifer assists clients on various intellectual property and complex litigation matters with a special focus on patent disputes.

    Practice Areas

    Intellectual PropertyPatent LitigationCopyright, Trademark & Media Litigation Fintech & Financial Services IP

    /My focus

    My litigation practice focuses on representing clients in high-stakes district court patent cases and before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). Leveraging my engineering background, I provide strategic guidance on infringement and validity issues related to technologies including computer systems, mobile devices, networking and communications technologies, electronic trading platforms, navigation systems, and others. I have significant experience litigating complex patent cases as part of litigation teams securing favorable verdicts and settlements. I also adeptly guide clients through PTAB alternative dispute resolution proceedings including inter partes reviews and post-grant reviews.

    In addition to patent litigation, I assist clients with intellectual property counseling and enforcement related to trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. I also have experience with complex commercial litigation.

    /Looking ahead

    Rapidly evolving technologies will continue to transform industries and bring innovative products to market. With these changes, I expect an increase in high-stakes patent disputes related to artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, personalized medicine, and other emerging fields. I plan to expand my practice advising clients on patent protection strategies and enforcing their intellectual property rights amidst the complex legal landscape surrounding new technologies. With my extensive technical and legal experience, I am well-equipped to help clients navigate uncertainty and proactively strengthen their market positions.
