Michael B. Levin

Michael Levin is a partner at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, where he specializes in intellectual property litigation and counseling for technology companies with a focus on patent litigation, especially in the areas of software, networking, cellular and wireless telecommunications, graphical user interfaces, and electronic trading. Since joining the firm in 1995, Mike has represented technology companies in more than 60 intellectual property disputes across the country, including patent disputes in district court and before the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). In addition, Mike has successfully handled more than a dozen U.S. and international arbitrations in the AAA, ICDR, and ICC, securing for his clients two of the largest IP awards of the last decade, which totaled more than $400 million.

Michael has been recognized in Northern California Super Lawyers every year since 2005. In addition, he has been recognized in 2013 and 2014 in Intellectual Asset Management (IAM) magazine's IAM Patent 1000 – World's Leading Patent Practitioners guide, in which he was praised for his IP litigation expertise, including his ability to bridge the gap between the contentious and non-contentious practices by specializing in licensing disputes, with one commentator noting that he has "superb knowledge of portfolio licensing issues and is easy to work with."

Prior to joining Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Michael served as a law clerk to Judge Ronald M. Whyte of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
