Jason Zucchi

Jason Zucchi is a partner at Avantech Law, LLP, specializing in complex intellectual property litigation, particularly patent infringement and trade secret cases. He brings nearly two decades of experience in high-stakes intellectual property and technology litigation. Before joining Avantech Law, he spent almost two decades at Fish & Richardson.

His practice primarily focuses on representing plaintiffs, as evidenced by his tracked appearances and firm profile, which highlights substantial damages awards obtained for clients. Zucchi's expertise spans a broad range of technologies, including medical devices, electronics, telecommunications, life sciences, and automotive and connected vehicle systems. Cases he has handled involve digital interaction, social media computing systems, computerized traffic routing, third-party payment systems, spinal implantation systems, surface-mount transformers, point-of-care cell separation technology, and tire pressure monitoring systems.

Notable cases include Weple IP Holdings LLC v. Meta Platforms Inc., where he represented the plaintiff in a patent case concerning digital interaction and social media computing systems, which was ultimately dismissed with prejudice after Meta successfully challenged the patents under 35 U.S.C. § 101 as directed to abstract ideas. He also serves as counsel for AutoConnect Holdings LLC in ongoing disputes involving connected vehicle technologies, including AutoConnect Holdings LLC v. General Motors LLC and AutoConnect Holdings LLC v. Ford Motor Company, the latter of which is currently stayed pending related post-grant patent reviews. His firm profile also references successes in cases resulting in jury awards for willful infringement, permanent injunctions, and favorable settlements after key claim construction rulings, including a case that reached the Supreme Court to set a new standard for enhanced damages.

Zucchi possesses extensive experience with post-grant proceedings before the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), coordinating these matters with concurrent district court litigations. He earned his J.D., magna cum laude, from the University of Minnesota Law School in 2007, and a B.S. in Behavioral Sciences, Law and Psychology, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2002. He is admitted to practice in Minnesota and the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, among other federal courts.
