Christopher O. Green

Christopher O. Green is a first-chair trial lawyer at Fish & Richardson P.C. specializing in intellectual property litigation and counseling, with a focus on complex patent and trade secret disputes. His practice encompasses a broad range of technologies, including mobile devices, wireless networking, 3GPP protocols, pharmaceuticals (Hatch-Waxman), medical devices, power management, and software-defined networking. Green primarily represents defendants, including Fortune 100 companies and high-profile technology firms, aligning with his single tracked appearance defending Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. in patent litigation.

At Fish & Richardson's Atlanta office, Green handles cases in both state and federal courts, as well as before the International Trade Commission (ITC). A notable outcome includes securing a complete defense jury verdict of noninfringement for Velcro Companies against YKK Corp. in a patent infringement battle. His tracked case, Smart Mobile Technologies LLC v. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. et al., involved patents related to mobile communications, wireless networking, and mobile streaming technology, and concluded with a dismissal with prejudice, reflecting a negotiated resolution. A subsequent appeal at the Federal Circuit was also voluntarily dismissed.

As a registered patent attorney, Green actively assists clients with post-grant proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), a key area of practice for his firm, Fish & Richardson. He earned his J.D. from Wake Forest University School of Law in 2000, an M.B.A. from Vanderbilt University in 1996, and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1994. He has been licensed to practice for 26 years.
