Daniel M. Eliades

I'll research this attorney's professional background before drafting.

Bottom line: the available record does not support describing a patent litigation practice for Daniel M. Eliades. Your tracked data contains a single, untitled plaintiff-side appearance at Cole Schotz, where he is listed as Of Counsel. Web-verified material on a Daniel M. Eliades practicing in New Jersey points to a restructuring/insolvency and franchise practitioner, not an IP litigator — so the summary below separates what is sourced from what is not.

Specialty / focus areas. No source I located describes patent, Wi-Fi/standards, pharma, software, or mechanical patent work for this attorney. The verified practice descriptions — a K&L Gates Newark bio, a Kinney Recruiting item on K&L Gates' Newark hire, and a FindLaw listing — consistently describe restructuring and insolvency, Chapter 11 debtor/creditor work, commercial collection and foreclosure, and franchisor representation (including franchisee bankruptcy matters and protection of franchisor intellectual property in that context). The "intellectual property" reference that appears is franchisor trademark/brand protection in insolvency proceedings, not patent litigation. I found no patents, IPR, or patent case docket bearing this name.

Side preference. With one plaintiff-side tracked appearance and zero defendant-side appearances, there is no basis to characterize a patent-side practice — neither NPE/PAE plaintiff work nor operating-company defense. A single Of Counsel entry is also a weak signal of role, since Of Counsel counsel frequently enter for a discrete matter. Treat this as insufficient data rather than as a plaintiff-leaning practice.

Firm context. Current firm is K&L Gates LLP, Newark, New Jersey, where he is a partner in restructuring and insolvency and the resort/hospitality practice; he joined from LeClairRyan along with of counsel David S. Catuogno and William L. Waldman. Earlier in his career he was a founding member of Forman, Holt & Eliades LLC in Paramus, New Jersey, heading its national franchise bankruptcy practice. I could not independently verify the Cole Schotz Of Counsel period reflected in your data; Cole Schotz does maintain a substantial bankruptcy/restructuring group, which would be consistent with the rest of his profile, but confirmation is not in hand. Note also a separate, unrelated Daniel Eliades in Nevada and a Daniel Eliades at Forman Holt; the New Jersey restructuring attorney should not be conflated with them.

Notable cases, PTAB/IPR, bar and education. I found no patent verdicts, Federal Circuit appeals, PTAB/IPR/PGR appearances, or verifiable patent settlements for this attorney; the visible matters are Chapter 11 engagements (e.g., retention as debtor's counsel in resort/timeshare property owners' association cases). Bar and education, from an older firm profile (Forman Holt) and court filings: J.D., Seton Hall University, 1990; B.A., Trenton State College; admitted in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the District of New Jersey, and the Third Circuit, with later filings also citing Washington State admission. Given the age and inconsistency of these sources, verify admissions directly.

If the goal is a patent-specific profile, the tracked entry needs a case caption and docket number first — as it stands, the record is more consistent with a bankruptcy/restructuring attorney appearing in a single plaintiff-side matter than with a patent litigator.
