Dominique Macaluso

Dominique Macaluso is an associate in White & Case LLP's Global Intellectual Property practice group, based in the firm's New York office. Her practice supports clients in intellectual property disputes encompassing patents, copyrights, and trademarks. While her academic background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry and computational research, her tracked patent litigation experience primarily involves software and web technologies, such as electronic document e-commerce tools, website creation systems, and hyperlinking.

Macaluso’s patent litigation experience to date, as tracked, has been exclusively on the defendant side, representing operating companies. She appeared as counsel for the defendants in DiStefano Website Innovations, LLC v. Bytedance Ltd et al., a case initially filed in the Eastern District of Texas asserting five patents related to web infrastructure, including webpage creation and e-commerce tooling. This case was subsequently transferred to the Northern District of California, where the merits are to be decided.

While Macaluso's individual profile does not detail specific Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) or Inter Partes Review (IPR) experience, White & Case's Intellectual Property practice is noted for its expertise in these areas. The firm routinely uses IPR proceedings in conjunction with defensive patent litigation and is recognized for its leadership in post-grant proceedings before the U.S. Patent Office.

Dominique Macaluso holds a B.A. in Chemistry from Barnard College and earned her law degree with an Intellectual Property and Information Law concentration. She is admitted to practice in New York.
