D. Stuart Bartow

D. Stuart Bartow is an intellectual property trial lawyer with a practice focused on complex patent and technology litigation. His work primarily involves defending technology companies in disputes concerning semiconductors, electronics, computer hardware and software, network security, and clean energy technology. His experience includes serving as lead counsel in federal district courts across the United States, particularly in popular patent venues like the District of Delaware and the Eastern and Western Districts of Texas.

Based on his tracked case history and public profile, Bartow exclusively represents defendants. The single tracked case, Intellectual Ventures I LLC v. Trend Micro Incorporated, where he defended the technology company Trend Micro, is consistent with his broader practice of defending operating companies against patent assertions. His representative matters include obtaining summary judgment for a security software developer in a patent dispute concerning anti-malware technology and serving as lead counsel for a battery manufacturer in a patent case in the Western District of Texas.

Currently a partner in the Intellectual Property Practice Group at Duane Morris, Bartow was previously a partner at Paul Hastings LLP, where he was involved in the tracked case. His career also includes partnerships at McDermott Will & Emery LLP and Lewis Roca Rothgerber Christie LLP. While his practice is focused on district court litigation and trial work, his public profiles do not indicate a significant focus on proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB).

Bartow earned his J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center, a Master of Science from Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, and Bachelor of Science degrees in Computer Engineering and Psychology from the University of Maryland. He is an active member of the State Bar of California.
