Jason C. Williams

I'll research this attorney before drafting.

Jason C. Williams — Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP (New York)

Focus areas. Williams's tracked patent work clusters in consumer-electronics hardware and imaging software, plus mechanical/electromechanical products. His most visible matter, GoPro, Inc. v. Insta360 (Arashi Vision), involved action/360-degree camera systems and asserted both algorithm patents (video stabilization, aspect-ratio conversion, horizon and distortion correction — e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 10,015,413; 10,529,052; 10,574,894; 10,958,840; 11,336,832) and a design patent (D789,435). His other recurring matter, Harbor Freight Tools USA, Inc. v. Champion Power Equipment, Inc. (C.D. Cal. No. 2:24-cv-08722-SVW-AS, filed Oct. 9, 2024), concerns dual-/multi-fuel generator patents (e.g., '101, '390, '398, '667) and is a conventional mechanical claim-construction and invalidity fight. No pharma, life-sciences, or standard-essential/FRAND work appears in the tracked record.

Side preference. The structured data show three plaintiff-side and one defendant-side appearance, so the sample is small and any "preference" is tentative. The pattern is best described as operating-company work rather than NPE/PAE prosecution: he represented GoPro as ITC complainant and district-court plaintiff affirmatively enforcing its own patent portfolio, and represented Harbor Freight as plaintiff in a declaratory-judgment action of non-infringement after Champion accused Harbor Freight's products of infringement. The plaintiff designation in Harbor Freight therefore reflects a defensive posture (a DJ action responding to an infringement accusation), not offensive NPE-style assertion. There is no evidence in the tracked list of representing asserted-patent monetizers.

Firm and notable matters. All four tracked appearances are at Quinn Emanuel, where court filings list him in the firm's New York office (295 Fifth Ave.). His most prominent matter is the GoPro/Insta360 dispute, litigated on two fronts: ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1400, in which the final initial determination (ALJ Doris Johnson Hines, July 10, 2025) is captioned with Williams on the complainant's team alongside S. Alex Lasher, Sean S. Pak, Patrick T. Schmidt, and Nathan Hamstra; and the parallel C.D. Cal. action (No. 8:24-cv-00681), stayed pending the ITC case. The outcome was largely adverse to his client: in its February 26, 2026 determination the Commission found a Section 337 violation as to only the D'435 design patent (limited exclusion order and cease-and-desist order, zero-percent bond) and found no violation as to the '840 and '052 patents, following its earlier decision not to review findings of no violation for the '894, '832, and '413 patents. In the Harbor Freight matter, the court set claim construction for September 30, 2025 and trial for January 2027; no verdict or judgment has been located.

PTAB/IPR. Williams appears in the Harbor Freight v. Champion district-court papers that were filed as exhibits in the parallel PTAB proceedings (e.g., IPR2025-01272), but the available records do not confirm that he personally signed the IPR petitions; those petitions were filed by Harbor Freight together with Generac Power Systems and MWE Investments (see also IPR2025-00805, -01271). His individually verifiable PTAB activity is therefore limited, and he should not be described as a regular IPR practitioner on the present record.

Bar/education. Massachusetts bar, admitted November 25, 2014 (certificate of admission and good standing produced in Nantworks LLC v. Bank of America Corp., C.D. Cal. No. 2:20-cv-07872). Education and prior firm history were not reliably sourced and are omitted. Note also that several other attorneys share this name (e.g., Jason E. Williams in Houston, Jason G. Williams in Orlando); the profile above is limited to the Quinn Emanuel attorney whose firm email is jasonwilliams@quinnemanuel.com.
