David E. Christensen

Analyst Summary: David E. Christensen

David E. Christensen is an experienced trial attorney and the founder of Christensen Law, a firm based in Michigan. While the firm's primary and well-documented focus is on plaintiff-side personal injury litigation, particularly cases involving traumatic brain injuries, Mr. Christensen has appeared as local counsel in patent litigation. His practice is overwhelmingly dedicated to representing individuals in personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits.

Based on the single tracked case, Mr. Christensen accepted a local counsel role for a plaintiff, WirelessWerx IP LLC, a patent-holding company. In this matter, WirelessWerx IP LLC v. Audi of America LLC, the plaintiff asserted a patent related to vehicle-tracking technology. The case is notable for its outcome: the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan granted Audi's motion to dismiss, finding the patent invalid as being directed to an abstract idea. This dismissal may affect related lawsuits filed by the same plaintiff against other companies in the automotive and tech sectors.

There is no publicly available information to suggest Mr. Christensen has a broader patent litigation practice, a focus on any particular technology area, or any experience in proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). His career and reputation are built on his extensive work as a personal injury trial lawyer.

Mr. Christensen received his law degree from the University of Michigan Law School. He founded Christensen Law in 2014 after two decades with another firm.
