Brett Cooper

Brett Cooper is the Managing Partner at BC Law Group, P.C., where he focuses his practice on complex patent litigation. He has extensive experience in technology-centric disputes, with his firm handling cases across diverse areas such as wireless communication (e.g., VoLTE), camera and digital image processing, H.264 video coding, gravity-fed water filtration devices, and wireless charging technology. His technical background, including degrees in mechanical and environmental engineering, informs his ability to navigate intricate engineering details in legal proceedings.

While Mr. Cooper's tracked appearances indicate an exclusive focus on the plaintiff side, his firm profile notes over two decades of experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants in patent litigation. BC Law Group emphasizes high-value patent enforcement, often operating on a contingent fee basis to support innovative companies and individual inventors. Before co-founding BC Law Group, Mr. Cooper was a partner at McKool Smith for nearly 14 years, where he played a key role in expanding the firm's New York intellectual property practice, and also practiced at Proskauer Rose and Weil Gotshal earlier in his career.

Notable experience includes securing substantial damage verdicts for clients. For example, his firm highlights achieving $145 million and $85 million verdicts for Wi-LAN, Inc. against Apple in cases related to voice over LTE (VoLTE) wireless communication technology. In the case of Foras Technologies, Ltd. v. BMW, where Mr. Cooper served as lead counsel for the plaintiff, the patent-in-suit was found unpatentable by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), leading to a voluntary dismissal of the subsequent Federal Circuit appeal by agreement of the parties. Mr. Cooper is active in post-grant proceedings, having successfully litigated before the PTAB, and his firm frequently engages in such actions.

Mr. Cooper is a registered patent attorney with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and is admitted to practice in various federal district courts and the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. He earned a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (1990) and an M.S. in Environmental Engineering (1991) from Tufts University, and a J.D. from St. John's University (2001, cum laude), where he was an Executive Articles Editor for the Law Review.
