Background
Three decades of experience advising clients in high-stakes patent, trade secret, trademark, copyright and complex commercial matters. First-chair IP litigator. Focused on high tech and life sciences industries.
Paul Keller successfully litigates intellectual property disputes in federal and state courts in a range of jurisdictions. A recognized leader in the field, he also has extensive experience with alternative dispute resolution, including arbitration and mediation. He advises clients on a wide spectrum of technologies (from small molecule pharmaceuticals to lithium batteries) through bespoke strategies that meet the particular legal and business needs of the client. Clients consistently cite Paul’s “out of the box” thinking and use of strategies that align with the company’s global business objectives.
In addition to his extensive litigation experience, Paul’s practice involves counseling clients on matters relating to the preparation and implementation of IP monetization strategies. This part of his practice includes IP asset valuations, competitive threat analyses, the preparation of legal offensive and defensive strategy “playbooks,” and licensing campaigns. Paul’s thought leadership is reflected in his numerous publications, presentations and speeches on IP. Outside his IP practice, Paul focuses his community service and pro bono efforts on defensive asylum cases before the U.S. Immigration Court.
