C. Bryan Wilson

C. Bryan Wilson is a Partner at Williams & Connolly LLP, focusing his practice on complex commercial matters, including patent litigation, unfair competition, and trade secret disputes.

He also counsels on conflicts, employee mobility issues, and investigations.

In his patent litigation practice, Mr. Wilson has primarily represented plaintiffs in tracked cases.

There is no prominent information available regarding his regular appearance in PTAB or IPR proceedings.

Mr. Wilson earned his J.D., magna cum laude, from Duke University School of Law in 2004, where he was a member of the Order of the Coif and an Article Editor for the Duke Law Journal.
