Andrew Swanson Brown — Patent Litigation Summary

Specialty / focus areas. Andrew "Andy" S. Brown is an of counsel at Radulescu LLP in New York, a boutique firm specializing in high-stakes patent litigation, particularly in semiconductors, LED/lighting technology, green tech, and computer hardware/software (Chambers profile; firm website). Brown's tracked work sits squarely in the LED lighting space: as defendant's counsel in Feit Electric Company, Inc. v. Savant Technologies LLC d/b/a GE Lighting (N.D. Ohio, No. 1:24-cv-473), involving Feit's white-filament LED bulb patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 8,604,678 and 8,614,539). With an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering, he is registered with the USPTO (Reg. No. 74,177) and comfortable with the technical subject matter.

Side preference. The authoritative case list shows a single tracked appearance, on the defendant side for operating company Savant/GE Lighting against patentee Feit. That pattern is reinforced by related, untracked matters: in IPR2024-01357, IPR2025-00258, and IPR2025-00260, Brown appeared as petitioner-side counsel for Savant, LEDVANCE, Elong, and Longstar challenging the same Feit patents before the PTAB. His own firm bio describes a two-sided practice — representing both patent owners and accused infringers in district court, IPRs, and Federal Circuit appeals — so he should not be characterized as a one-sided practitioner, though his current tracked docket skews to the defense/petitioner side of LED disputes.

Firm context. Radulescu LLP (New York), led by David C. Radulescu, is known for LED/semiconductor patent litigation. Brown's prior patent-litigation roles include associateships at Weil, Gotshal & Manges (2008–11), Paul, Weiss (2011–15), Wilson Sonsini (2015–18), Quinn Emanuel (2018–19), Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi (2021–22), and counsel at Devlin Law Firm (2022–23) before joining Radulescu (firm bio). He is not in-house.

Notable cases and outcomes; PTAB/IPR. The tracked district case is active: Feit sued Savant in March 2024, and Savant/LEDVANCE successfully obtained PTAB institution of IPR2024-01357 challenging Feit's '678 patent, with related IPRs instituted in 2025 (inside.lighting; Laser Focus World; PTAB filings). Brown was granted LEAP practitioner status and oral-hearing participation in the Feit IPRs (PTAB filing dated Feb. 2026). His bio further claims membership on trial teams that won a complete defense verdict for an accused infringer and a substantial damages award for a patent owner, plus Federal Circuit appellate briefing on both sides — but those results are not named in public sources and could not be independently verified. He has meaningful PTAB/IPR experience, representing both patent owners and petitioners up to and including oral argument as lead counsel.

Bar / education. B.S.E. in electrical engineering, summa cum laude, University of Michigan (2005); J.D., Harvard Law School (2008); admitted in New York and Michigan and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (firm bio).
