Brady Schoenlein

I'll research this attorney's professional background before drafting.

Let me verify the ITC case details, PTAB experience, and bar/education.

Let me check PTAB/IPR history and the Federal Circuit appeal outcome.

Brady Schoenlein — Associate, White & Case LLP (Intellectual Property group, Palo Alto, CA)

Specialty / focus. Schoenlein's tracked patent work centers on solar energy hardware — photovoltaic connectors and trunk bus cable assemblies used in utility-scale solar installations. Her only tracked patent case, Shoals Technologies Group, LLC v. Voltage, LLC, involves electrical/mechanical balance-of-system technology rather than standards-based (e.g., Wi-Fi) or pharmaceutical subject matter. Her firm biography describes a broader IP litigation and counseling practice spanning patent, trademark, trade dress, copyright, and false advertising matters, with experience in federal district courts, the U.S. International Trade Commission, and the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, plus trademark prosecution. That description is drawn from her own firm bio, so treat the patent-specific technology breadth as broader than the single tracked case reflects (White & Case profile).

Side preference. The tracked data show one appearance, on the defense side for an operating company. In Shoals, she was part of the White & Case team representing respondent/defendant Voltage, LLC, a North Carolina solar EBOS manufacturer, against assertions by competitor Shoals Technologies Group. There is no tracked record of her pursuing patent claims as plaintiff counsel or for an NPE/PAE. Her broader docket includes trademark plaintiff-side work (e.g., Whaleco Incorporated v. Temureviewer.com), so the patent sample is small and defense-leaning rather than a settled specialization.

Notable cases and outcomes. The most prominent matter is Shoals v. Voltage at the ITC (Inv. No. 337-TA-1365, "Certain Photovoltaic Connectors and Components Thereof"). In January 2025 the full Commission issued a final determination of no violation of Section 337, reversing an ALJ's final initial determination that Voltage infringed the last remaining asserted patent; the reversal was covered by The American Lawyer's Litigation Daily, which named the White & Case team (partners Yar Chaikovsky, Philip Ou, Jordan Coyle, and Bruce Yen) as Litigator of the Week runners-up and listed Schoenlein among the associates. White & Case describes the result as a clean sweep on the asserted patents and notes the parallel district court action in the Middle District of North Carolina was stayed. The parties' dispute continued in a newer ITC investigation (337-TA-1438, asserting the '375 and '376 patents) and related M.D.N.C. litigation; the Commission's June 2026 final determination in 1438 found a Section 337 violation by Voltage and issued a limited exclusion order. Public team rosters for the 1438 matter that I could verify do not clearly confirm Schoenlein's role in that later phase, so her involvement there is stated with that caveat.

PTAB / IPR. I found no public record of Schoenlein appearing as counsel in AIA proceedings (IPR/PGR) before the PTAB. No PTAB practice should be attributed to her on the current record.

Bar / education. Admitted in California. J.D., UCLA School of Law (specialization in Media, Entertainment, Technology and Sports Law and Policy); B.S. in Systems Engineering, United States Military Academy; former law clerk to the Hon. Liles C. Burke, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. White & Case is the only firm identified in her tracked history; no prior firm appears in the available sources.

Note on name variant: some litigation databases list the Shoals v. Voltage appearances under "Braden Schoenlein." The firm bio and contemporaneous press coverage use "Brady Schoenlein," and the case/team details match, so they appear to be the same individual.
