Baldine Brunel Paul

Baldine Brunel Paul is a patent litigation attorney with experience representing clients in disputes involving display technologies, including LCD and OLED panels, and automotive display technologies. Paul primarily works on the plaintiff side, as indicated by her single tracked appearance.

Operating as Counsel at Mayer Brown, Paul was involved in the notable case LG Display Co., Ltd. v. Tianma Microelectronics Co., Ltd. et al.. In this case, LG Display, represented by Mayer Brown, sued Tianma Microelectronics for alleged infringement of seven patents related to LCD and OLED display technologies. The case involved patents covering aspects such as touch-integration architectures, automotive display technologies, and structures used in home appliance displays. The dispute ultimately settled, with both parties agreeing to dismiss their respective lawsuits and bear their own attorney's fees.

Paul also has experience with PTAB proceedings. In the context of the LG Display v. Tianma dispute, Tianma Microelectronics had sought inter partes review (IPR) to invalidate LG Display's patents. However, these IPR petitions were dismissed by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), with the Director issuing a precedential ruling denying institution of IPR on the grounds that a foreign government, as a real party in interest, rendered the petitioner ineligible under the America Invents Act (AIA). Paul's involvement with this case suggests familiarity with the interplay between district court litigation and PTAB challenges.
