Jamie B. Beaber — patent litigation practice summary
Focus. Beaber is a Washington, DC–based patent litigator whose practice centers on US International Trade Commission proceedings under Section 337 of the Tariff Act, where he leads Mayer Brown's Section 337 and Offensive Patent Litigation practice groups (Chambers USA; Mayer Brown firm profile). His ITC record spans consumer electronics and component technologies — digital media devices, televisions, Blu-ray players, tablets, mobile phones, integrated circuit devices and packaging, tunable laser chips, displays and hard drives — and his practice description reports more than 50 ITC investigations. He also litigates in district courts, particularly the Eastern District of Texas and District of Delaware, and his earlier Steptoe & Johnson practice description included anti-dumping/countervailing duty proceedings and customs matters related to Section 337 exclusion orders.
Side preference. The tracked appearance data supplied for this profile is thin — a single plaintiff-side, lead-counsel appearance at Mayer Brown — and the underlying case name in that record could not be corroborated, so it should be treated as incomplete rather than as a reliable indication of side preference. Public records show a genuinely mixed practice. He has represented respondents (defendants) in ITC and district court matters for LG Electronics, LG Display, Panasonic, Toshiba, NEC and others, while also acting for patent owners on the offensive/assertion side — most prominently Maxell Ltd. in its multi-jurisdiction campaign against Samsung, and Estech Systems IP LLC v. NEC Corporation of America (N.D. Tex. 3:23-cv-02828), where he appeared for NEC as defendant.
Firm context. Beaber has been a partner at Mayer Brown since May 2014, when he moved from Steptoe & Johnson with a team of 11 IP lawyers (four counsel and six associates) in Washington DC and Chicago. At Mayer Brown he runs the firm's Section 337/ITC litigation group. He is ranked in Chambers USA (Intellectual Property: Litigation, DC, Band 4) and in IAM Patent 1000 and Managing IP's IP Stars, and is a former co-chair of the Federal Circuit Bar Association's International Trade Committee and vice chair of the IPO's Section 337 Committee.
Notable matters, PTAB and credentials. His most prominent verified result is the May 2025 Eastern District of Texas jury verdict for Maxell against Samsung Electronics: $111.7 million in damages on a running royalty, with findings of willful infringement of three patents and no invalidity on two of them. That win was subsequently narrowed — the court granted JMOL of noninfringement as to the fingerprint-registration claims of U.S. Patent 8,982,086, and the PTAB later issued final written decisions invalidating claims of the '086 and 11,017,815 patents. He appears regularly in PTAB proceedings, including as pro hac vice counsel in a large set of LG Electronics IPRs (e.g., IPR2014-01092 through -01362, IPR2014-01133) and in the ongoing Maxell/Samsung IPR and EPR dockets. Admissions: District of Columbia (2003) and Michigan (2001), with the Federal Circuit, D.D.C., E.D. Tex. and the Court of International Trade; JD magna cum laude, Thomas M. Cooley Law School; LLM, Georgetown University Law Center; BS, University of North Dakota.
