Alejandra C. Salinas

Alejandra C. Salinas is a Partner at Susman Godfrey L.L.P., specializing in high-stakes intellectual property disputes, including patent infringement and trade secret claims, as well as broader complex commercial and financial matters. Her patent litigation practice frequently involves advanced technology, such as Wi-Fi standards. Currently, she is also involved in a federal copyright infringement class action against OpenAI and Microsoft, representing Pulitzer-winning authors regarding the unlicensed use of their books for AI model training. She joined Susman Godfrey as an associate after clerking for Chief Judge Sidney Thomas of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

Ms. Salinas has a notable record representing plaintiffs. In one prominent case, Atlas Global Technologies LLC v. TP-Link Corporation Limited et al. in the Eastern District of Texas, she played a key role in securing a $37.5 million jury verdict for Atlas Global Technologies in a patent infringement dispute concerning Wi-Fi 6 technology. This case involved patents related to the IEEE 802.11ax Standard. Her contributions in this matter included presenting the client and the damages expert. Earlier in her career, she also contributed to a $2.3 million jury verdict for client WickFire in a click-fraud lawsuit, handling the direct examination of the damages expert. While her firm indicates she represents both plaintiffs and defendants, her tracked appearances and highlighted victories are consistently on the plaintiff side.

Based on the available information, there is no indication that Ms. Salinas regularly appears in PTAB or IPR proceedings. She earned her Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Boston College Law School in 2015 and was admitted to practice in Texas in 2016.
