Patent Litigation

Patent disputes often arise at critical business moments — product launches, competitor entry, or transactional activity. Legal strategy has to align tightly with commercial reality.


What we do

Jones Walker represents both patent holders and accused infringers in patent infringement actions in federal district courts across the United States, including complex, multiparty disputes and cases involving contested technologies. We know the procedural, strategic, and evidentiary demands of patent litigation — and the commercial pressures that often accompany it.

From the earliest stages of a dispute, we help clients evaluate infringement and validity exposure, claim construction risk, damages theories, and litigation posture. From there, we work through the right path forward — whether that is litigation, licensing, settlement, or business resolution.

How we work

When matters proceed in court, our focus is on clarity, efficiency, and credibility. We collaborate closely with inventors, in-house technical teams, and expert witnesses, and we integrate prosecution history and portfolio strategy into district court advocacy.

Our litigators work seamlessly with our patent prosecution attorneys, allowing for coordinated strategies that reflect both the technical record and the business realities of the dispute.
