Eric’s litigation philosophy centers on developing strategies for his clients that terminate cases quickly while, at the same time, preparing each case for trial from the outset should that need arise. While he frequently tries patent cases, he likes to say that the best way to win a patent trial is to not try it like a patent case. Eric is a storyteller at heart and brings that style to each of his cases. The client’s best interest is always at the forefront of Eric’s practice, leading to an emphasis on efficiency and client service. This approach led him to be recognized as a Super Lawyer in each of 2013-2021 as well as an IP Star by Managing Intellectual Property. In addition, his leading IPR practice secured his spot on multiple top practitioners lists for that practice area.
