The largest technology companies regularly rely on Patrick Michael to represent them in high-stakes intellectual property (IP) disputes. As a leading trial lawyer and technology litigator, Patrick has a proven track record of winning patent, copyright, and trade secret cases for both defendants and plaintiffs across the United States.
Patrick's practice focuses on a wide range of technologies, including integrated circuits, electronic design automation, software, semiconductor fabrication processes/tools, computer networking, and medical devices. He has significant trial experience, including serving as lead trial counsel for a world-renowned laboratory in a trade secret dispute where he obtained a unanimous defense verdict for the client after a three-week jury trial.
Patrick also led the team that won two trials, including a multi-million copyright infringement verdict, for one of the world's largest software companies, a victory that was named among the Daily Journal's "Top Verdicts of 2016." In 2018, and for the second consecutive year, the Daily Journal also recognized Patrick as one of the "Top Intellectual Property Lawyers in California."
Patrick is committed to his community and pro bono matters, representing clients in political asylum, guardianship, and school discipline matters, and has received the Pro Bono Advocate Award from Legal Services for Children.
