His experience also includes defensive work related to inter partes review (IPR) proceedings, as seen in Unified Patents v. Advanced Integrated Circuit Process LLC, where his client was a defendant. Nassar joined Susman Godfrey after clerking for Judge Beth Robinson on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
