Daniel Mitchell

Daniel Mitchell is a Senior Associate at Duane Morris LLP, focusing his practice on intellectual property law, particularly patent litigation. He draws on extensive prior experience as a Patent Examiner for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (2007-2015) and as a patent prosecution attorney at Cantor Colburn LLP (2015-2022) before joining Duane Morris in 2022, becoming a Senior Associate in 2025.

Mr. Mitchell's patent litigation practice spans various technology areas, including network security, telecommunications, LED technologies, and general electrical and software arts. While his tracked case involvement shows a plaintiff-side appearance, his firm profile indicates his practice also includes vigorously defending clients' patent rights.

A notable aspect of his work includes his representation of Kangxi Communication Technologies (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. in its patent disputes. In a significant development, a U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) administrative law judge issued a preliminary ruling in January 2026, finding that Kangxi Communication's subsidiary did not infringe on Skyworks Solutions Inc.'s patent rights in a Section 337 investigation (Inv. No. 337-TA-1413). Additionally, Mr. Mitchell has experience with Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) proceedings, having represented clients before the Board, and was involved in Kangxi's petitions for inter partes review (IPR) against Skyworks' patents, which were ultimately denied by the Federal Circuit in February 2026.

Mr. Mitchell is admitted to practice in Georgia and before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. He earned his J.D. from Georgia State College of Law, where he focused on intellectual property law, and holds a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
