Courtney Krawice

Courtney Krawice is an intellectual property litigator at Mayer Brown, focusing on high-tech patent litigation in U.S. district courts and before the International Trade Commission (ITC). Her technical expertise, rooted in mechanical engineering, allows her to handle cases involving consumer electronic devices, user interfaces, IoT, smart home surveillance systems, wireless communication technologies, image processing, and fingerprint authentication. Krawice's practice also encompasses related issues such as trade secret and antitrust claims arising in complex patent disputes.

Krawice represents both plaintiffs and defendants in patent infringement matters. Her tracked appearances show a lean towards plaintiff-side representation, with three plaintiff-side cases and one defendant-side case. Notably, she was part of the Mayer Brown team that secured a $1 million jury verdict for Pantech Corporation against OnePlus Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. in the Eastern District of Texas. The jury in that case found willful infringement of five patents covering standard-essential wireless communications and user interfaces. Krawice directed technical expert witnesses at trial and damages retrial, and argued motions related to summary judgment and post-trial motions in this significant case, which is currently on appeal.

Her experience further includes obtaining favorable settlements for clients like Maxell, Ltd. in district court patent infringement litigation against TCL Electronics Holdings Ltd., involving consumer electronics and wireless communication technologies. She has also secured favorable settlements for Maxell as complainant in multiple ITC Section 337 investigations concerning patents related to mobile electronic devices, smart televisions, and smart home/IoT devices. Additionally, Krawice successfully drafted a motion to dismiss based on invalidity under Section 101 in Murj, Inc. v. Rhythm Management Group, LLC et al.. While Krawice regularly appears in district court and ITC proceedings, her publicly available professional profiles do not indicate frequent appearances in Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) or Inter Partes Review (IPR) proceedings.

Krawice earned her J.D., cum laude, from American University Washington College of Law, and a B.S., magna cum laude, in Mechanical Engineering from George Washington University. She is admitted to practice in the District of Columbia, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
