Abigail Grace McFee

Practice Focus. Abigail Grace McFee is a patent litigator whose tracked docket is concentrated in consumer-electronics technology — specifically interactive touchscreen and optical input-device patents (electromagnetic-radiation impingement, proximity/touch sensing, stylus and digitizer systems). Her O'Melveny & Myers bio describes an IP and technology practice covering patent infringement matters in U.S. district courts and the ITC. All four tracked appearances are defendant-side: she has represented operating companies (Samsung Electronics) defending infringement claims and challenging asserted patents, rather than prosecuting cases for NPEs/PAEs. Her role progression at O'Melveny ran Litigation Associate → Counsel → Of Counsel, with the most recent tracked appearance at Paul Hastings as of counsel (the Paul Hastings affiliation comes from the case list; I could not independently verify a current firm profile).

Notable Matters. McFee's most prominent tracked work is the Power2B v. Samsung Electronics litigation and the parallel PTAB proceedings. She appeared on Federal Circuit briefing for Samsung in the consolidated appeals from Samsung's IPRs against Power2B's touch-sensing patents (including IPR2021-01190 and related cases, where O'Melveny represented petitioner Samsung). The Federal Circuit's 2025 decisions were largely favorable to Samsung: it affirmed PTAB unpatentability findings on numerous Power2B claims (Nos. 23-2184 and 23-1629, nonprecedential) and vacated and remanded on claim construction of "impingement of an electromagnetic radiation spot" in No. 23-1630 (Feb. 12, 2025). The tracked data also lists her on Unified Patents LLC v. Power2B Inc., an IPR challenge where she appeared for respondent Power2B — indicating she has worked both sides of IPR disputes, though her core practice is defending technology companies.

PTAB/IPR and Credentials. IPR/PGR work is a significant part of her practice: she has been involved in multiple coordinated Samsung IPRs against Power2B patents and the Unified Patents IPR, plus the resulting Federal Circuit appeals — substantial post-grant and appellate experience. Per her O'Melveny bio, she holds a J.D. from UC Berkeley (Berkeley Technology Law Journal) and a B.S. in chemical engineering from the University of Tulsa (magna cum laude); she has also authored articles on AI patent eligibility and §112 issues (ALM Law Journal Newsletters, 2024). Her state bar admissions are not confirmed by the sources reviewed.
