Clarine Nardi Riddle

Clarine Nardi Riddle is a Senior Counsel at Kasowitz LLP, having joined Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP in June 2013. While her practice broadly encompasses litigation, white-collar defense and investigations, and government affairs and strategic counsel, her work has involved representing clients in the technology and telecommunications industries in matters at the intersection of law, business, and public policy. Her background in government affairs and strategic counsel leverages her extensive experience in legislative and judicial systems, including her tenure as the first female Attorney General of Connecticut and Chief of Staff to Senator Joseph I. Lieberman.

In patent litigation, Ms. Riddle has appeared on the defendant side in the case of MediaTek, Inc. et al. v. ParkerVision, Inc., working to defend operating companies. This single tracked appearance aligns with a defense-oriented role in patent disputes. Her professional profile emphasizes her broad advisory capacity, collaborating with the White House and decision-makers to shape legislation and advocating for legislative, regulatory, and policy changes for various clients. There is no specific public information detailing her regular involvement in IPR/PGR proceedings or particular notable verdicts or appeals specifically within patent litigation beyond the identified case.

Ms. Riddle earned her J.D. from Indiana University School of Law (Bloomington) in 1974, where she was a senior editor of the interdisciplinary law journal Iustitia, and holds a B.A. in mathematics with honors from Indiana University Bloomington. She is admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Appeals Court for the Second Circuit, and the Connecticut and Indiana State Bars.
