In his patent litigation practice, Mr. Andersen primarily represents plaintiffs, as evidenced by his tracked appearances. The cases he has handled, including VPR Brands, LP v. POP Vapor and VPR Brands, LP v. Shenzhen Fango Technology Co., involve patent infringement claims related to electronic cigarette and vaping technology, specifically U.S. Patent No. 8,205,622 B2, which covers auto-draw technology using an electric airflow sensor. In these matters, he has served as local counsel or likely local counsel.

Notable outcomes include the VPR Brands, LP v. POP Vapor case, which concluded with a settlement agreement in February 2025. Under the terms, POP Vapor paid VPR Brands $30,000 and received a non-exclusive, perpetual license, along with a royalty payment of $0.05 per unit until the patent's expiration in July 2030, leading to a voluntary dismissal with prejudice. The VPR Brands, LP v. Shenzhen Fango Technology Co. case was dismissed without prejudice, preserving VPR Brands' rights to refile. SRIPLAW has also successfully represented VPR Brands in multiple Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) proceedings, defending the validity of the '622 patent against inter partes review (IPR) challenges.

Mr. Andersen earned his J.D. from Wake Forest University School of Law, where he was a staff member of the Wake Forest Intellectual Property Law Journal and received awards for excellence in intellectual property.
