Andres C. Healy

Andres C. Healy is a patent litigation attorney with Susman Godfrey LLP, known for his work in complex commercial and intellectual property disputes. Based in the firm's Seattle office, he represents a diverse client base, from large corporations to individual inventors. His practice spans various technology sectors, with a particular focus on software, internet advertising technology, and telecommunications, including matters related to LTE wireless standards and radio telecommunication devices.

Healy has demonstrated a balanced approach to patent litigation, appearing as lead counsel for both plaintiffs and defendants. While he has substantial experience representing plaintiffs in patent infringement actions, he also successfully defends clients against such claims. For instance, in AlmondNet, Inc. v. Lotame Solutions, Inc., he represented the defendant Lotame Solutions, Inc. in a dispute over ad-tech patents, which ultimately concluded with a dismissal with prejudice for the plaintiffs' claims after 355 days.

Among his notable achievements on the plaintiff side, Healy secured a $31.5 million jury victory for Koninklijke KPN N.V. against Ericsson in a patent infringement suit concerning telecom network equipment. He also obtained a unanimous jury verdict finding HTC Corporation infringed two LTE wireless standard patents and achieved summary judgment for KPN, establishing that the company did not breach FRAND obligations. Additionally, he has secured favorable settlements as co-lead counsel for 3G Licensing S.A. and Orange S.A. in patent infringement suits against LG Electronics and BlackBerry Corporation.

Healy graduated summa cum laude from the University of Florida Levin College of Law, where he was first in his class, and holds a B.A. from the University of Central Florida. He is admitted to practice in Washington and Florida and has argued in numerous federal courts, including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. While his significant district court litigation experience is evident, no specific information regarding his regular appearances in PTAB or IPR proceedings is readily available.
