Jason A. Kolbe

I'll research this attorney before drafting.

Research caveat up front: the authoritative case list contains a single, unnamed defendant-side appearance, and public sources do not support describing Jason A. Kolbe as a patent litigator. The summary below reflects what is verifiable and flags the gaps rather than filling them.

Specialty / focus areas. Publicly available practice descriptions characterize Kolbe — a partner at Dontzin Nagy & Fleissig LLP in New York — as a complex commercial litigator focused on financial disputes, securities and investment-adviser matters, white-collar defense, regulatory proceedings, and internal investigations. The firm's own attorney biography lists representative matters involving a major bank in market-manipulation/opt-out litigation, a False Claims Act action against an insurance broker, securities-fraud claims against an investment adviser, and fraud claims against a building owner. Neither the firm bio nor his Super Lawyers listing (Business Litigation, Securities Litigation, White Collar) identifies patent, patent-standards, or technology-licensing work. On the record available, there is no verifiable technology-area specialization in patents to report.

Side preference. The tracked data show 1 appearance, 0 plaintiff-side and 1 defendant-side. That sample is too small to establish any litigation posture, and it is consistent with his documented defense-side commercial practice — he is regularly identified as counsel for JPMorgan defendants (e.g., the Allianz Global Investors GmbH v. Bank of America FX matter in S.D.N.Y. and a related D. Del. proceeding) rather than as counsel for patentees.

Firm context. Kolbe has been at Dontzin Nagy & Fleissig since 2014; before that he was an associate at Latham & Watkins. He has also served as a law clerk to Magistrate Judge Theodore H. Katz (S.D.N.Y.) and District Judge William E. Smith (D.R.I.). He is not an in-house attorney. He was recognized as a Super Lawyers "Rising Star" (2016).

Notable cases / PTAB. The most significant matters I could verify by name are the Allianz/FX benchmark opt-out litigation (counsel for the JPMorgan defendants), Accent Delight International Ltd. v. Sotheby's, and Firm-counsel and judgment-collection proceedings arising from his firm's representation of Philip Falcone. None are patent cases, and I found no docketed patent infringement action, Federal Circuit appeal, or PTAB/IPR/PGR filing attributable to him. Treat any statement that he has IPR experience as unsupported.

Bar / education. Admitted in New York (2006); also admitted in the S.D.N.Y., E.D.N.Y., and the Second Circuit. J.D., New York University School of Law (2005); B.A., Wesleyan University (1999).

Note on disambiguation: at least three attorneys named Jason Kolbe practice in the U.S. — Jason Andrew Kolbe (New York, the subject here), and Jason C. Kolbe (Las Vegas, Nevada personal injury/insurance defense, formerly Tiffany & Bosco). Sources mixing these should not be relied on. I also note that the firm's attorney bios appear in publicly indexed court filings prepared by Dontzin Nagy & Fleissig; those are self-reported descriptions, not independent findings.
