Daniel F. Klodowski

Daniel F. Klodowski serves as in-house counsel at Google LLC, focusing his patent litigation practice on defending the company's interests. His experience, as tracked, includes representing Google as a plaintiff in complex patent disputes, particularly against patent assertion entities (PAEs).

Klodowski's work at Google involves technology areas related to mobile device communication, push notification systems, mobile data management, and the Android operating system. This is evident from the underlying patents in cases such as Google LLC v. Headwater Research LLC, which involved claims against Google's cloud messaging infrastructure and mobile device communication methods. These patents also covered device-assisted services, network service plan design, and security techniques for mobile devices.

In the significant case of Google LLC v. Headwater Research LLC, Klodowski represented Google. This litigation, which targeted Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging, concluded in February 2026 with a confidential settlement prior to a scheduled Markman hearing. This outcome is indicative of a negotiated resolution to avoid the uncertainties of claim construction. Google also initiated an inter partes review (IPR2026-00137) against Headwater Research LLC in January 2026, further demonstrating the multi-faceted approach to defending against patent assertions.

While there is a prominent patent litigation attorney named Daniel F. Klodowski at the firm Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP, who has extensive experience in PTAB proceedings, district court litigation, and patent prosecution, and has been involved as outside counsel in some IPRs related to Google and Headwater, the provided authoritative data specifies that the Daniel F. Klodowski in this summary is in-house counsel at Google LLC. Therefore, the detailed firm experience and educational background of the Finnegan partner are not reliably attributable to the in-house counsel being profiled. Information regarding the bar admissions and education specifically for Daniel F. Klodowski in his in-house role at Google is not publicly available through verified sources.
