Gregory Stone

Career

Greg Stone, a partner in the Los Angeles office of Munger, Tolles & Olson, is widely recognized for his trial skills, particularly in patent, antitrust and unfair competition cases. He also specializes in defending and trying, class actions, including product liability, toxic tort and antitrust class actions.

Mr. Stone has offered his legal services to companies whose activities range from technology to pharmaceuticals, to manufacturing and consumer goods. He also has represented a number of smaller companies in various areas of emerging technology.

His experience in intellectual property and antitrust law has led him to handle many matters that lie at the intersection of those two fields of law. For instance, he was lead trial counsel for Rambus in a three-month-long trial brought by the FTC charging Rambus with antitrust violations as the result of its efforts to obtain and later assert patents covering fundamental technologies and designs that are used in the memory chips found in nearly every computing device sold today, including computers, cell phones and HDTVs to name just a few. After successfully defending Rambus at the trial and surviving several rounds of appeals, Mr. Stone succeeded in having all of the FTC's claims dismissed.
