About

Provided by Morris James LLP

Morris James practices patent litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware—one of the country's busiest patent venues—with particular strength in Hatch-Waxman and ANDA litigation. We work across the life sciences and technology sectors, including pharmaceuticals, biomedical devices, telecommunications, automotive, electronics, internet, and software.

Our attorneys regularly serve as Delaware counsel in national IP litigation involving patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and related antitrust claims, drawing on deep familiarity with the District of Delaware's bench, local patent rules, and procedures.

The practice is chaired by Kenneth Dorsney, Editor-in-Chief and co-author of Pre-ANDA Litigation: Strategies and Tactics for Developing a Drug Product and Patent Portfolio and a frequent speaker on patent law and litigation.
