Alison T. Gelseleicher

1 tracked appearance — 0 plaintiff · 1 defendant.

Specialty & background

I'll research this attorney before drafting.

Note on the name: the tracked record spells the attorney "Alison T. Gelseleicher," which does not match any member of the patent bar. The name appears to be a variant of Alison T. Gelsleichter (also listed as Alison Taroli Gelsleichter) of Mayer Brown LLP; the firm, docket records, and the tracked case all line up with that attorney. The summary below is based on that identification.

Focus areas. Gelsleichter is a registered patent attorney with a chemistry background who works in Mayer Brown's Intellectual Property group (with the firm also listing her under Life Sciences). Her practice centers on patent infringement litigation in U.S. district courts and Section 337 investigations at the ITC, with supporting PTAB work. Technologies in her docketed matters span display/LCD panels (the tracked case), consumer electronics (smartphones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches, smart TVs, set-top/media devices), wireless and mesh-network standards (Wi-Fi, LTE handover, ZigBee, WirelessHART, IEEE 802.15.4), image and audio processing, GPS, and emerging smart-home/IoT devices; the firm also lists medical devices and pharmaceuticals among her case technologies.

Side preference. Her verifiable work is predominantly on the defense side of operating-company-versus-licensing-entity disputes — consistent with the tracked count of 0 plaintiff-side and 1 defendant-side appearance. In the tracked matter, LG Display Co., Ltd. v. Delaware Display Group LLC (the PTAB caption for LG Display's IPRs against Delaware Display Group / Innovative Display Technologies patents), she is recorded as pro hac vice counsel for the LG Display defendants in the parallel Delaware action Delaware Display Group LLC et al. v. LG Electronics, Inc. et al., No. 1:13-cv-02109 (D. Del.). She has also worked plaintiff-side for patent holder Maxell and for SIPCO in licensing/enforcement campaigns, so the practice is mixed rather than exclusively defense-oriented.

Firm context. All tracked appearances and searchable records place her at Mayer Brown LLP, where she was an associate and is now listed as counsel in the Washington, D.C. office. No prior firm history surfaced in the sources reviewed.

Notable matters and PTAB. Beyond the LG Display/Delaware Display Group litigation and related IPRs over backlight and light-emitting panel patents (which the parties resolved, with settlement/dismissal reported in 2017), her firm bio credits her with work on Maxell, Ltd. v. Apple Inc. and Maxell, Ltd. v. Lenovo/Motorola Mobility (multiple smartphone/tablet/laptop/smartwatch patents; the Apple case settled after jury selection), Maxell, Ltd. v. VIZIO, and Maxell, Ltd. v. ZTE USA LLC, where the team won a jury verdict reported by the firm at $43.3 million with willfulness findings on seven patents. She has also supported several Maxell ITC Section 337 investigations that settled before hearing. She appears in PTAB filings in a supporting capacity (for example, on Mayer Brown teams in the Maxell and LG Display IPRs) rather than as lead counsel.

Bar and education. B.S. in chemistry, King's College (magna cum laude); M.S., State University of New York; J.D., Syracuse University College of Law (cum laude; Syracuse Science & Technology Law Review). Admitted in Pennsylvania, the District of Columbia, and New York, and registered before the USPTO; admitted to the E.D. Tex., M.D. Pa., N.D.N.Y., and D.D.C.
