Alexandra White

Alexandra White is a seasoned patent litigator and a partner at Susman Godfrey L.L.P., where her practice focuses on high-stakes intellectual property disputes. Her work frequently involves complex technologies, including telecommunications networking equipment, 3G and 4G wireless standards (such as LTE), software, and targeted advertising platforms. While she primarily serves as lead trial counsel for plaintiffs, securing substantial jury verdicts, she also undertakes significant defense work for clients facing claims of infringement.

Ms. White has achieved several notable outcomes, including a jury verdict exceeding $100 million in past and future damages for Koninklijke KPN N.V. against Ericsson in a dispute over telecommunications networking equipment patents. She also secured a unanimous jury verdict for 3G Licensing SA and Orange, S.A. against HTC Corporation, finding infringement of patents essential to LTE wireless standards and awarding a per-unit royalty rate of 74 cents per device. More recently, in February 2024, she obtained a $341 million jury verdict for KPN in a breach of patent contract trial against Samsung. Additionally, Ms. White was lead counsel in a $70 million patent licensing campaign for Sky Technologies, which included settlements with defendants like SAP. In the tracked case, Intent IQ, LLC v. Yahoo Inc., Ms. White represented the plaintiff in litigation concerning targeted advertising patents, where asserted claims were later found unpatentable in Inter Partes Review (IPR) proceedings, a decision affirmed by the Federal Circuit.

Her experience includes navigating patent validity challenges, as evidenced by her involvement in cases where IPR outcomes impacted the litigation. Ms. White graduated at the top of her class from Louisiana State University Law School in 2004.
