Specialty & background

Summary — Chelsey Lyn Mam

Specialty / focus areas. Mam is a Seattle-based commercial litigator whose publicly described practice centers on complex commercial disputes, insurance recovery, personal injury, and trust-and-estate litigation — not core patent work. Her single tracked patent matter, Flexiworld Technologies, Inc. v. Amazon.com, Inc. (W.D. Wash./N.D. Cal., including misc. subpoena proceeding No. 2:25-mc-00018), involved Flexiworld's wireless-printing and short-range-wireless networking patents, but her role there appears peripheral and likely as local counsel on a Rule 45 subpoena dispute rather than substantive patent merits work.

Side preference. The tracked data shows one plaintiff-side appearance (1-0), representing Flexiworld, a patent-owner/PAE litigant, against Amazon. However, her broader civil practice is mixed, with Super Lawyers and firm profiles listing both plaintiff and defense work, so no durable "NPE-side vs. defendant-side" orientation in patent litigation can be inferred from this record.

Firm context. Mam is currently an attorney at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP (BCLP) in Seattle. She joined via BCLP's April 2024 combination with Harrigan Leyh Farmer & Thomsen LLP, where she was counsel and which served as Flexiworld's local counsel in the tracked matter. Earlier career steps include Gordon Tilden Thomas & Cordell LLP (associate and later counsel) and Byrnes Keller Cromwell LLP, plus a clerkship on the Washington Court of Appeals, Division II.

Notable cases / outcomes. The only verifiable patent matter tied to her is Flexiworld v. Amazon (lead case No. 2:21-cv-01055, W.D. Wash.), a Flexiworld patent-infringement campaign that survived transfer from W.D. Texas and proceeded through claim construction before terminating in July 2025; the related 2025 subpoena proceeding was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. Because her docketed role was limited, I could not verify any verdict or appellate result attributable to her in that case.

PTAB / IPR. No evidence of IPR/PGR practice or appearances.

Bar / education. Washington bar, 2012; J.D., Gonzaga University School of Law, 2011 (summa cum laude, first in class per BCLP); B.A., University of Washington, 2006.
