Tej Singh's focus on the intersection of law and technology allows him to develop legal arguments based on the technical idiosyncrasies of any intellectual property (IP) case. Tej has a passion for understanding the complete development background of many of the technologies that are taken for granted every day.

Tej has extensive IP litigation experience involving a wide range of technologies, including software, telecommunications, and medical devices, and is familiar with all phases of patent litigation, including fact and expert discovery, claim construction, motion practice, and trial.
