Technology Disputes
Van Hoven PC represents clients in matters involving patents, trade secrets and technology-centric antitrust and contract matters. Our practice focuses on representing private companies and growing public companies against multi-national competitors and non-practicing entities.
With their inherent asymmetry of financial resources or risk, these cases require creative and efficient lawyering. Working with a small, immersive team, and often partnering with litigation-focused co-counsel, we engage directly with the core legal and technical issues to deliver case-dispositive results, typically against international mega-firms or prolific plaintiffs' firms.
We have represented clients in venues throughout the country, including in Federal District Courts and Courts of Appeals nationwide, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, and the International Trade Commission. Example matters include the following:
