BIOGRAPHY
David has over 30 years of patent and intellectual property litigation experience on all levels, from trial to appeal, and most recently in the ITC.
He has litigated about 100 cases in about two-dozen U.S. States, involving a wide array of technologies from numerous multinational companies, such as software, wireless telecommunications, consumer goods, computer vision, forward collision avoidance, medical devices, automotive, biotechnology, nuclear magnetic resonance, chemical vapor deposition (“CVD”), electrochromic mirrors, and damages litigation.
He started his career at Fish & Neave, which was the premier patent litigation firm at the time, which traced its roots back to Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, and the Wright Brothers. While he was there he was a member of the Polaroid v. Kodak litigation team that won just under one billion dollars, following an eight-month trial. That award, which was paid, still stands as one of the largest patent awards in U.S. history. He also worked for Morgan & Finnegan, another venerable U.S. patent litigation boutique.
David is also an arbitrator and mediator with the American Arbitration Association.
David received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and a Master of Science from Tufts University and Columbia University respectively, along with a JD from Fordham University, in New York City.
