Overview

Alexander Yow focuses his practice on patent litigation across a broad range of technological disciplines including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, software and electrical engineering. He has experience representing patent owners seeking to enforce their intellectual property rights as well as experience representing companies accused of patent infringement in multiple federal district courts across the country.

Alex is also a registered patent attorney licensed to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and has significant experience as lead counsel for patent owners in inter partes review proceedings before the USPTO’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). He has successfully defended against numerous patent challenges brought by large technology companies against his clients and has a deep understanding of the new discretionary framework that has emerged at the PTAB.

Alex works closely with clients and technical experts to develop infringement, non-infringement, validity and invalidity positions, which he uses to assess the merits of a patent infringement suit as well as the significance of a patented technology. He also advises on patent valuation and leverages his technical background to translate complex concepts into clear, persuasive arguments.

Analytical, versatile, and results-driven, Alex approaches disputes with both legal and business considerations in mind. He works closely with clients and case teams to develop litigation strategies that align with business objectives and risk tolerance. Known for distilling complex technical and legal issues into clear themes, he helps develop tailored approaches to the unique challenges of each matter.
