While his district court and appellate experience is well-documented, specific experience in IPR or other PTAB proceedings is not prominent in publicly available sources.

Mr. Blumenfeld earned his J.D. from Yale Law School in 1977 and a B.A. from the State University of New York at Albany. He clerked for the Honorable Walter K. Stapleton of the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware before entering private practice.
