Amy Cralam

Amy Cralam serves as the Vice President and General Counsel for Alliant Energy Corporation, where she has been since 2006. In this in-house role, her practice covers a broad spectrum of legal issues impacting the energy organization, including regulatory, commercial, employment, real estate, and litigation, with a focus on risk mitigation and corporate strategy. Her patent litigation experience, as tracked, appears to involve defending operating companies.

Her specific experience in patent litigation includes defending Alliant Energy Corporation in Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. et al. v. Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company et al. The patents at issue in this case concerned processes for capturing mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants, suggesting a focus on environmental technology within the energy sector. In this particular litigation, the court dismissed the claims against Alliant Energy Corporate Services, Inc. without prejudice. While Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. secured a significant patent infringement verdict in a separate case in the District of Delaware, that outcome was against different defendants and not directly involving Alliant Energy in the context of the tracked case.

Prior to joining Alliant Energy, Ms. Cralam practiced at a law firm in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and also worked in the healthcare sector. There is no specific public information indicating her regular appearance in PTAB or IPR proceedings.

Ms. Cralam holds a Bachelor's degree in Economics from Beloit College, a Master's degree in Business from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and a Juris Doctor from Hamline University. She is based in Madison, WI.
