Jason Lo

I'll research this attorney to verify background and practice details.

Let me verify the two tracked cases and the Western Digital outcome.

Let me verify the IPValue Management case specifically and confirm Jason Lo's involvement.

Jason Lo — Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher (Los Angeles)

Focus areas. Lo's practice centers on patent and trade-secrets litigation, with a secondary antitrust/competition component. His tracked matters and firm-published representations span semiconductor and storage technologies (3D NAND flash, self-encrypting drives), display hardware (LED edge-lit panels), and consumer electronics, alongside work described for the video game, military/aerospace, and pharmaceutical sectors. He has litigated in district courts nationwide and before the U.S. International Trade Commission, and has handled FRAND- and antitrust-flavored licensing disputes (In re Qualcomm Litigation).

Side preference. His tracked record is evenly split — one plaintiff-side and one defendant-side appearance — and that matches his broader profile, which is predominantly defense-side operating-company work (Western Digital, VIZIO, Amazon, Viacom, Fitbit, Glenair) but also includes representation of patent holders and licensors (Netlist in its licensing/breach-of-contract dispute with Samsung). He should be characterized as a two-sided patent litigator rather than a dedicated NPE/PAE prosecutor or a pure defense specialist. In the tracked matters he was lead counsel for Western Digital and back-up counsel for VIZIO.

Notable tracked matters. IPValue Management, Inc. v. Western Digital Corp. (C.D. Cal. No. 8:25-cv-00119, filed Jan. 2025) — IPValue and Longitude Flash Memory Solutions asserted five former Cypress Semiconductor patents against Western Digital over 3D NAND flash memory in HDDs, SSDs, USB drives, and memory cards; Lo is listed as lead counsel. The docket shows a motion to dismiss and a motion to stay; I could not verify a final outcome from public sources — reporting indicates the case is closed, but the disposition is unconfirmed. Separately, firms accolades credit Lo (with Daniel Thomasch and Kieran Kieckhefer) on the SPEX Technologies v. Western Digital matter, where a $552.7 million verdict and interest award (C.D. Cal., Judge Selna) was reduced to $1 in nominal damages in June 2025 after Western Digital's Rule 50(b) challenge to the plaintiff's damages proof succeeded while liability was upheld. Note this is a different case from the tracked IPValue matter.

PTAB/IPR experience. Yes — he appears in IPR proceedings. He was added as back-up counsel for petitioner VIZIO in K.J. Pretech / VIZIO v. Innovative Display Technologies (IPR2015-01868 on the '974 patent), and is associated with the related VIZIO IPRs IPR2016-00910 ('974) and IPR2016-00914 ('370), which were joined or coordinated with the earlier proceedings. That experience is tied to the tracked VIZIO, Inc. v. Innovative Display Technologies LLC matter, in which he also argued a Daubert motion in the parallel Delaware litigation.

Bar/education. Admitted in California (2002); J.D., Harvard Law School (2001, cum laude); B.A., UCLA (1998). Clerked for Judge Mariana R. Pfaelzer (C.D. Cal., 2002–2003). Has taught patent and IP litigation as a Lecturer in Law at USC Gould since 2015.
