Jared R. Frisch

Jared R. Frisch is a partner in Covington & Burling's Washington, D.C. office, specializing in complex patent litigation across various forums, including U.S. district courts, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), and the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), with appellate experience before the Federal Circuit. His practice emphasizes high-tech matters, drawing on his background in electrical and computer engineering and microprocessor design. Mr. Frisch's technical focus areas include organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and liquid crystal displays (LCD), light-emitting diode (LED) packaging, semiconductors, central and graphics processing units (CPUs, GPUs), micro-electromechanical systems (MEMs) microphones, and radio technologies. He also handles cases involving medical devices and pharmaceuticals.

Mr. Frisch maintains a balanced practice, representing both plaintiffs and defendants, often for leading electronics companies. His experience includes acting as both complainant and respondent in ITC Section 337 investigations. The firm's practice areas explicitly include "Patent Office (PTAB) Trials," and Mr. Frisch's profile confirms his regular litigation before the PTAB. His appearance in a case involving Unified Patents against Samsung Display further indicates his involvement in IPR proceedings, as Unified Patents is known for challenging patents at the PTAB.

Notable engagements include his work for Samsung Display Co. Ltd. in a significant patent and trade secret dispute against BOE Technology Group Co. Ltd. In this protracted litigation, Samsung Display, a client of Covington, secured a settlement where BOE agreed to license Samsung Display's OLED intellectual property and pay royalties after the ITC found BOE had infringed Samsung Display's OLED patents. Additionally, he was part of a team that achieved a complete defense victory in a trade secret arbitration for a major pharmaceutical company, successfully fending off a $1.8 billion demand. He was also recognized for contributing to a key claim construction ruling for Samsung.

Mr. Frisch earned an undergraduate degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. As a partner based in Covington's Washington D.C. office, he practices in patent litigation across a wide array of technological innovations.
