Adam Daniels

I'll research this attorney before drafting.

Let me dig into the specific cases and outcomes.

Let me verify the tracked case and the Power2B outcome.

Adam P. Daniels — Polsinelli LLP (Los Angeles) — Note on disambiguation: this profile covers Adam Peter Daniels, California Bar No. 296466, of Polsinelli's Los Angeles office; several unrelated attorneys share the name.

Specialty / focus. Daniels is an electrical-engineering-side IP litigator. His undegraduate training is in electrical and computer engineering, and his docketed patent work clusters in consumer electronics and human-computer interface technology — touchscreens, stylus/3D position sensing, sensor arrays and signal processing — which is the subject matter of the Power2B patent family he has litigated for years. He also appears in AI/ML software litigation (he was admitted pro hac vice for Hugging Face in FriendliAI Inc. v. Hugging Face, Inc., D. Del. 1:23-cv-00816, Aug. 2024) and in trademark/false-designation matters for brand owners such as RE/MAX (C.D. Cal.). There is no indication in the sources reviewed that he works in pharma, life sciences, or mechanical arts. His practice description covers the full IP lifecycle — district court litigation, prosecution, post-grant proceedings at the USPTO, licensing, and technology transactions — not litigation alone.

Side preference. The authoritative tracked data shows a single appearance, on the defendant side (0 plaintiff / 1 defendant), in Unified Patents LLC v. Power2B Inc. That single data point understates the actual mix. Public docket records and profile material indicate he leads the Polsinelli team asserting Power2B's patents as plaintiff in district court in Texas, while simultaneously representing Power2B as patent owner defending those same patents in PTAB proceedings — and separately representing operating-company defendants like Hugging Face. In other words, he is genuinely bilateral rather than tied to one side of the patent bar, though his largest verified engagement is on the patent-owner/assertion side rather than as a corporate defendant's regular outside counsel.

Notable matters and PTAB/IPR experience. His most prominent work is the Power2B v. Samsung dispute, which spans roughly nine asserted patents and at least eight IPRs (IPR2021-01190, -01220, -01239, -01257, -01266; IPR2022-00300, -00315, -00325, -00405). He took the expert deposition in the IPR2021-01190 group and appeared on the Patent Owner's consolidated hearing demonstratives. The Federal Circuit's nonprecedential decision in Power2B, Inc. v. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., No. 2023-2184 (May 19, 2025) went affirmed-in-part and reversed-in-part: the Board's unpatentability findings were largely affirmed, with claim 20 of the '364 patent reversed on Samsung's cross-appeal over a dissent by Judge Stark. A related appeal, No. 2026-1654, was dismissed by joint agreement (June 26, 2026). The record also shows that Samsung filed a motion to disqualify Polsinelli in the Western District of Texas case in August 2021; the outcome was not verifiable from the sources reviewed. He is a frequent PTAB practitioner, not an occasional one.

Bar / education. B.S., Electrical Engineering & Computer Engineering, Worcester Polytechnic Institute; J.D., University of Connecticut School of Law (2010, with certificates in IP and taxation studies). Admitted in Connecticut and Massachusetts (2010), California (2014), New York, before the USPTO as a registered patent attorney, and in the U.S. District Courts for the District of Massachusetts and S.D.N.Y. Earlier in his career he was an electrical/computer engineer at Sikorsky Aircraft and practiced at Edwards Wildman Palmer before joining Polsinelli.

Verification caveats. (1) The tracked Unified Patents v. Power2B matter could not be independently confirmed against a primary docket in the sources reviewed; the party alignment noted above is taken from the structured data. (2) A Law360 trials item reporting a $78.5 million Eastern District of Texas patent verdict against Samsung appears in search results but the plaintiff's identity was not confirmed — it is not attributed here to Power2B or to Daniels. (3) The Power2B-side representations described above come from court filings, PTAB records, and a Los Angeles Times business-of-law profile, not from the authoritative case list, which contains only the one entry.
