Brian Livedalen

Brian Livedalen is a patent litigation attorney at Fish & Richardson P.C., specializing in high-risk intellectual property disputes before U.S. District Courts, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and the International Trade Commission (ITC). He focuses on key technology sectors including mobile devices, video streaming, electrified vehicles, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and semiconductors, with experience in cases involving standard essential patents (SEPs). Livedalen's practice areas include electrical and computer technology, optics, energy, and chemicals.

Based on tracked appearances, Livedalen primarily represents plaintiffs in patent infringement matters, having appeared on the plaintiff side in all four tracked cases. However, his professional profile indicates experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants, including defending clients such as Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. and Micron Technology, Inc. in patent disputes where favorable outcomes were secured.

Notable case experience includes representing Paice and Abell in a multi-patent infringement case concerning hybrid-electric vehicles, which concluded with a favorable settlement after a $28.9 million verdict and finding of willfulness. He also represented LG Chem in an ITC investigation (Inv. 337-TA-1179) that resulted in a favorable settlement. Currently, he is counsel in Credo Semiconductor Inc. et al. v. Molex, LLC, a case that has been stayed pending resolution of a related ITC investigation. In similar actions involving Credo Semiconductor and asserting the same patents related to high-speed electrical cable technology, cases against Amphenol Corporation and Volex PLC were dismissed with prejudice following negotiated resolutions.

Livedalen is active in post-grant review proceedings before the USPTO, leveraging his background as a former patent examiner in optical and semiconductor technologies. He earned his J.D. cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center in 2009 and a B.S. in Physics from the University of Virginia in 2005. He is admitted to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and in Virginia, the District of Columbia, and North Carolina.
