Bryan Guy Harrison

Bryan Guy Harrison is a seasoned intellectual property litigator and trial attorney currently serving as Counsel at Troutman Pepper Locke. His practice encompasses a broad range of intellectual property, trade compliance, and competition law disputes, with a focus on patent enforcement and defense across various technology areas. His experience includes matters involving mechanical components, electrical devices, and software, alongside trade secret misappropriation claims. He is noted for representing clients in courts across more than 30 states, as well as before administrative bodies like the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC).

Harrison demonstrates experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants in patent matters. While the sole tracked case, MPI Corp v. Technoprobe SPA, shows him as lead counsel for the plaintiff, his firm profile highlights a balanced approach, indicating he handles both patent enforcement and defense. Notably, he secured a summary judgment of non-infringement, affirmed on appeal to the Federal Circuit, for defendants in Profectus Tech. LLC v. Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., et al., involving computer screen activation technology. Conversely, he has acted as lead counsel for complainants in ITC investigations, obtaining findings of patent infringement and trade secret misappropriation, leading to exclusion and cease and desist orders.

His notable patent litigation experience includes representing MPI Corporation as plaintiff in MPI Corp v. Technoprobe SPA, a patent infringement action filed in the Eastern District of Texas on April 17, 2026, concerning two U.S. patents. Other significant engagements include leading an ITC investigation for a manufacturer concerning exterior wall dryer exhaust vents, which resulted in a finding of patent infringement, and securing a Commission decision finding misappropriation of trade secrets in an ITC investigation related to ground fault circuit interrupters. While his practice frequently involves administrative bodies such as the ITC, no specific information regarding his regular appearance in Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) or Inter Partes Review (IPR) proceedings is reliably sourced.

Harrison earned his J.D. from Emory University School of Law in 1989 and a B.S. from Lehigh University in 1986. He is admitted to practice in Georgia and Texas, and previously served as a trial attorney in the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice from 1989 to 2002.
