David Boies

David Boies is a founding partner and chairman emeritus at Boies Schiller Flexner LLP, where he is of counsel. His legal career, commencing at Cravath, Swaine & Moore in 1966 before co-founding Boies Schiller Flexner in 1997, has established him as a prominent trial attorney in complex litigation.

While widely recognized for his high-profile general commercial and antitrust litigation, including significant cases such as United States v. Microsoft Corp., David Boies' firm has a broad patent litigation practice. The firm handles disputes across diverse technology areas, including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, software, smartphones, semiconductors, artificial intelligence, telecommunications, and e-commerce. His single tracked patent appearance, representing the plaintiff in DISH DBS Corporation et al. v. FuboTV Inc., involved patents related to multi-bitrate content streaming and adaptive-rate shifting technology. Boies Schiller Flexner represents both patent holders in prosecuting infringement claims, having secured over $1 billion in verdicts and settlements, and defendants, defeating billions in collective claims.

The firm actively engages in Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) proceedings, in addition to litigating in federal and state courts, including Federal Circuit appeals, and before the International Trade Commission. The DISH v. FuboTV case, for instance, has seen related challenges at the PTAB concerning the validity of adaptive bitrate patents.

Mr. Boies earned a B.S. from Northwestern University in 1964, an LL.B., magna cum laude, from Yale University in 1966, and an LL.M. from New York University in 1967. He is admitted to the New York bar and numerous federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
