David S. Bloch

David S. Bloch is a Shareholder in Greenberg Traurig's San Francisco office, where he focuses on intellectual property litigation. He handles complex disputes involving patent infringement, copyright, trademark, and trade secret issues for clients across various sectors, including financial services, technology, health care, and pharmaceutical industries. His practice encompasses cutting-edge technology areas such as software, artificial intelligence, IoT, telematics, machine vision, and event detection systems, as evidenced by his involvement in significant cases concerning connected fleet management solutions. Bloch also has experience with intellectual property in government contracts and has co-authored a chapter on remedies in "ANDA Litigation: Strategies and Tactics For Pharmaceutical Patent Litigation," indicating a focus on pharmaceutical patent issues.

In terms of side preference, Mr. Bloch represents operating companies in intricate intellectual property disputes, working both to assert and defend patent rights. In the prominent case Motive Technologies, Inc. v. Samsara, Inc., he has represented Motive Technologies. While tracked as plaintiff-side in a district court patent infringement action, Motive was also a respondent in a related U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) investigation where it was cleared of patent infringement allegations brought by Samsara. This demonstrates his capacity to act for parties both prosecuting and defending against patent claims.

Mr. Bloch joined Greenberg Traurig in August 2019 from Winston & Strawn. He is a recognized litigator, having been listed in publications such as The Best Lawyers in America for Litigation - Intellectual Property and IAM Patent 1000. While his practice broadly covers intellectual property litigation, public records do not explicitly detail his appearances in PTAB or IPR proceedings.

Admitted to practice in California and the District of Columbia, Mr. Bloch is also admitted to numerous U.S. District Courts, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and the Supreme Court of the United States. He earned his J.D., with honors, and an M.P.H. from The George Washington University in 1996, and a B.A. in Political Science from Reed College in 1993.
