Davida P. Brook

Davida P. Brook is a partner at the litigation boutique Susman Godfrey LLP whose practice, while known for high-profile defamation and copyright cases, also includes intellectual property litigation. Her patent work appears to cover software and secure messaging technologies. Public records and media reports show her handling patent infringement matters for both plaintiffs and defendants.

Based on the available case data, Ms. Brook's patent experience is varied. She is noted as defense counsel for Visa in a patent infringement suit related to mobile payment technology (Visa USA Inc v. Cortex MCP Inc). In contrast, she has also represented the plaintiff, representing Vaporstream Inc. in a patent infringement case against Snap Inc. concerning secure messaging technology. While she has a significant trial practice in other areas, including securing a $787.5 million settlement for Dominion Voting Systems against Fox News, specific outcomes for her patent cases are not as widely publicized.

Ms. Brook has been a partner at Susman Godfrey since 2018, having joined the firm in 2012. There is no information in the public record to suggest she has a regular practice appearing in inter partes review (IPR) or other proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB).

Admitted to the California bar in 2011, Ms. Brook earned her J.D. from Stanford Law School in 2010 and a bachelor's degree from Columbia University. Prior to joining Susman Godfrey, she clerked for Judge Raymond C. Fisher of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
