Andres Healy

Andres Healy is a partner in Susman Godfrey's Seattle office, where he focuses his practice on complex commercial and intellectual property litigation, particularly patent infringement actions. His work spans technology areas including telecommunications, wireless standards (e.g., LTE), radio communication devices, and automotive/mechanical systems. He has represented clients in disputes involving smartphones, telecom network equipment, and engine technology. Healy works for both plaintiffs and defendants, though his experience prominently features representing plaintiffs in patent infringement suits.

Healy has secured significant outcomes for his clients, including a $31.5 million jury verdict for Koninklijke KPN N.V. against Ericsson in a patent infringement suit concerning telecom network equipment. He also obtained a unanimous verdict from a Delaware federal jury, establishing that HTC Corporation infringed two patents declared essential to LTE wireless standards, with a finding of willful infringement. Healy successfully persuaded the Federal Circuit to reverse the invalidation of one of KPN's patents under 35 U.S.C. § 101. His notable tracked cases include representing defendants in Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless v. Fractus, S.A. and Ford Motor Company v. Massachusetts Institute of Technology et al., as well as representing plaintiffs in Ethanol Boosting Systems, LLC v. Ford Motor Company.

While his practice involves Federal Circuit appeals and patent validity issues, specific details regarding his regular appearance in IPR/PGR proceedings are not extensively detailed in publicly available information. Healy is admitted to practice in Washington and Florida. He earned his J.D., summa cum laude, from the University of Florida Levin College of Law in 2010, and his B.A., summa cum laude, from the University of Central Florida in 2005. He also completed federal clerkships for the Honorable Richard C. Tallman of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the Honorable Robert S. Lasnik of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington.
