Marc Blackman represents clients in high-stakes patent infringement cases in federal courts throughout the country as well as in the International Trade Commission. Marc handles cases involving complex technology, such as computer hardware and software, semiconductor structures and fabrication, mobile devices, digital cameras, image sensors, flash memory, and other consumer electronics products.
Marc has substantial experience litigating cases involving multiple patents and defendants to successful results.
