Harold H. Davis, Jr. — Patent Litigation Practice Summary

Davis is a trial lawyer whose patent work centers on high-technology disputes: semiconductors and DRAM, FPGAs, microprocessors, encryption, touchscreens, laptop/PC hardware, Android-platform software, wireless/telecom including FRAND rate-setting, and consumer electronics. His Greenberg Traurig profile describes lead-counsel work in patent, trade secret, unfair competition, and trademark cases in federal courts, before the ITC (Section 337), and on Federal Circuit appeals, with a stated emphasis on representing Asia-based technology companies. The single tracked appearance (plaintiff side, counsel for plaintiff) is not named in the source data; based on his extensive public matter list, however, his practice is overwhelmingly defense-side — representing operating companies (Wistron, Acer, Asus, Gateway, Dell, Lenovo, HP, Western Digital, Xilinx, Samsung, ZTE) against NPE/PAE assertions and in competitor disputes.

Davis is a shareholder in Greenberg Traurig's San Francisco office, joining the firm in 2019 as part of its Bay Area IP litigation expansion (PRWeb, Oct. 31, 2019); his firm biography notes his more mature representations predate his arrival at GT. Notable matters include lead counsel for third-party ZTE in TCL Communications Technology Holdings v. Ericsson (C.D. Cal.), a FRAND-rate-setting action; lead counsel for Wistron in Personalized Media Communications v. Wistron (E.D. Tex., television tuners); representation of Asus in Rockstar Consortium v. Asustek (E.D. Tex., Android OS); summary judgment of non-infringement for Dell and Lenovo in Typhoon Touch v. Dell; and partial summary judgment invalidating a key patent for Hanwang in Wacom v. Hanwang based on prior art he developed, followed by settlement. Federal Circuit experience includes the Insight Development v. Hewlett-Packard appeal. Many of his district-court matters resolved by dismissal, summary judgment, or settlement. PTAB/IPR work is not well documented in public sources; one matter was stayed pending inter partes review, but his profile emphasizes district court, ITC, and appellate trial work rather than a regular IPR/PGR practice. Note that several other attorneys share "Harold Davis" as a name (e.g., Theodore H. Davis Jr. at Kilpatrick Townsend and a Tampa-area Harold Davis Lewis Jr.), so appearances should be matched to California Bar No. 235552.
