Erin R. Ranahan

Based on available public records, Erin R. Ranahan is an intellectual property litigator, formerly a partner at Winston & Strawn LLP. Her practice has historically centered on copyright, trademark, right of publicity, and entertainment law, rather than patent-specific litigation. High-profile matters have included defending digital media companies by invoking the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's "safe harbor" provisions, such as in UMG Recordings v. Veoh Networks, and representing parties in copyright disputes in the entertainment sector.

The authoritative case data indicates a single tracked appearance on the defendant side in a patent matter, Thales DIS France SA v. Canadian Bank Note Company Ltd, while at Winston & Strawn. However, her broader litigation history, based on web search, does not show a primary focus on patent law and includes representing both plaintiffs and defendants in other intellectual property contexts. No significant history of IPR or other PTAB proceedings has been identified in public records.

Ms. Ranahan formerly practiced with Winston & Strawn in California. Public court filings from 2022 still list her affiliation with the firm. California State Bar records for Erin Rose Ranahan (also known as Erin Rose Eisner) indicate she is now employed by Fox Corp., suggesting a move from private practice to an in-house role. This may indicate the provided firm data is no longer current.

She received her J.D. from the University of California at Los Angeles School of Law and her B.A. from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
