Saqib J. Siddiqui

Intellectual Property, ITC Section 337 Actions, Patent Litigation

Visión general

Saqib Siddiqui protects clients’ patent rights in district courts, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) and US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Having started his career as an electrical engineer and a patent examiner in the USPTO—drafting and prosecuting over a hundred patent applications while going to law school at night—Saqib unpacks complex technologies and develops litigation strategies that that are centered on predicting the attacks clients’ technical positions will face during litigation and how these attacks will be eventually perceived and countered in front of the jurors and the court. At the earliest juncture, Saqib is already thinking about how the technical aspects of the matter will evolve through trial, which is why clients with complex technical intellectual property assets or products rely on Saqib to manage the technical aspects of their matters.
