Daniel E. Bacine

Daniel E. Bacine is a seasoned civil litigator whose practice has primarily centered on securities, antitrust, and consumer protection class actions rather than patent litigation. He is a partner at the Philadelphia-based firm Barrack, Rodos & Bacine, which he joined shortly after its founding. His work at the firm, which is known for representing institutional investors and consumers in complex litigation, has involved trying jury and non-jury commercial cases in federal and state courts. The firm's practice areas are focused on securities, antitrust, consumer, and general business litigation.

Based on authoritative data, Mr. Bacine has appeared as lead counsel for the plaintiff in one patent infringement case, Neomedia Technologies, Inc. v. The Home Depot, Inc. This representation aligns with a plaintiff-side practice preference, although it appears to be an outlier in a career otherwise dedicated to securities and commercial law. His professional biography and the firm's website do not list patent litigation as a practice area. There is no indication from available sources that he has experience in post-grant proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB).

Mr. Bacine has achieved substantial settlements in non-patent class actions, including a $130 million settlement in the Allied Mutual Demutualization Litigation and a $26 million settlement for Harleysville Mutual policyholders. He has also taught courses in class actions and complex litigation as an adjunct professor at Drexel University's Kline School of Law and Villanova University's Widger School of Law.

Mr. Bacine earned his J.D. from Villanova University School of Law in 1971, where he was an Associate Editor of the Villanova Law Review. He is admitted to the bar in Pennsylvania.
