Brian Jones

Brian Jones is an Assistant General Counsel at Western Digital Corporation, focusing his practice on patent litigation for the multinational data storage company. His work primarily involves defending operating companies against patent infringement assertions, as evidenced by his role in the tracked case.

This matter was stayed pending resolution of a parallel declaratory judgment action.

Western Digital Corporation, where a jury's $552.7 million patent infringement award was reduced to $1 post-trial.
