His case experience indicates a focus on various technologies, including customizable website systems, electronic commerce transactions, wireless communication and fleet management systems (e.g., Bluetooth, LTE, MIMO technology), automotive vehicle monitoring and anti-rollover systems, and cloud-based content storage.

Hipskind predominantly represents plaintiffs in patent infringement actions, with six out of seven tracked appearances on the plaintiff side. Many of these cases involve patent assertion entities (PAEs) or non-practicing entities (NPEs). Notable plaintiff-side engagements include Fleet Connect Solutions LLC v. Stellantis N.V., concerning wireless communication and fleet management technologies, and Vision Works IP Corp. v. Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC et al., related to automotive vehicle systems. He also represented the plaintiff in Atlas Global Technologies LLC v. Valve Corporation, a case involving cloud-based content storage. His sole defendant-side appearance was for Greenberg Traurig, defending Petco Animal Supply Stores Inc..

While Hipskind's current primary affiliation is Berger & Hipskind LLP, he previously gained experience at prominent IP litigation firms Irell & Manella LLP and Russ August & Kabat. Although search results indicate his clients' patents have been subject to Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) proceedings, such as reexaminations of Vision Works IP Corp. and Fleet Connect Solutions LLC patents, his direct involvement as counsel in specific PTAB cases is not detailed in external search results. However, his firm's profile lists "PTAB" as a practice area, and his Patexia profile indicates 48 legal matters related to PTAB.

Hipskind earned his J.D., cum laude, from the University of Michigan Law School in 2009 and a B.S., cum laude, in Mechanical Engineering from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. He was admitted to the State Bar of California in 2009 and is admitted to practice before several federal courts, including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court.
