His practice areas frequently involve clients in the B2C and life sciences industries, with technological experience spanning light-based physiological parameter measurement, infectious disease testing, skincare, personal mobility, drinkware, and footwear.

He has played a significant role in notable patent litigation for HydraFacial LLC. This includes HydraFacial LLC v. MIRAmedtech SP.

Boettcher was also involved in HydraFacial LLC v. Aesthetic Management Partners, LLC et al., a patent infringement case that was stayed pending a related ITC investigation. Furthermore, he contributed to an ITC investigation (337-TA-1416), where HydraFacial alleged infringement of patents related to hydrodermabrasion systems, resulting in an Initial Determination in August 2025 finding infringement by one respondent and subsequent settlements or defaults for others.
