Years of Patent Experience
While working for global law firms for over two decades, Thane focused on patent litigation. In addition to his litigation practice, Thane was instrumental in helping clients respond to patent assertions, file reexamination/IPRs and assess infringement allegations. He leveraged that experience to guide clients with strategic IP portfolio-related decisions including licensing negotiations.
What we Offer?
IP Litigation
98% percent of patent litigation cases settle prior to trial. While every case is factually distinct, we have prevailed motion in limine, motion for protective order, and motion to compel in defendant unfriendly venues. Thane wants to keep his clients out of the courtroom, but when the other side is unreasonable, he works hard to get good results.
In-House IP Counseling
Thane guides companies on IP capture, cost-effective litigation strategies, transactional issues, and the selection and management of outside counsel. He also can serve as “shadow counsel” for the in-house legal team. Having worked as in-house and outside counsel, Thane knows how to improve quality and reduce cost.
Patent Portfolio Analysis
Throughout his career, Thane has assisted companies in strengthening their IP positions. He helped manage sixteen thousand IP assets. Under his guidance, his team identified numerous IP “gems” including a portfolio certified by accountants at $500M. He also handled due diligence for large corporate clients interested in purchasing or selling IP assets.
Licensing Negotiations & Agreements
Thane also guided clients with strategic IP portfolio-related decisions including patent pruning, licensing, patent sales, and agreements.
