Jeceaca An — Patent Litigation Summary

Focus areas. An's practice is complex patent litigation, which she handles across all phases (fact and expert discovery, claim construction, motion practice, trial), per her Kasowitz Benson Torres bio. The firm describes her technical focus as telecommunications, computer hardware and software, and electrical/mechanical technologies. Her tracked docket is consistent with that and adds a fintech/payments component: the Intellectual Ventures matters (including Wi-Fi/telecom assertions against airlines and retailers) and the Fintiv and Mozido mobile-wallet/cloud-payment-transaction cases. No pharma or life-sciences work appears in the tracked matters or public filings.

Side of the "v." She is predominantly patent-owner side. The tracked appearances split 7 plaintiff / 6 defendant, but the defendant-side entries are largely the mirror image of the same engagements — declaratory-judgment and counterclaim postures in which Intellectual Ventures is the defendant (e.g., Southwest Airlines Co. et al. v. Intellectual Ventures I LLC; Munich Re America Services, Inc. v. Intellectual Ventures I LLC) — rather than a defense practice for operating companies. Her plaintiff-side work is principally for patent owners and monetization entities: Intellectual Ventures, Fintiv, Inc., and Mozido, Inc. (Fintiv's predecessor). She is not, on this record, a regular defense-side litigator for accused product companies.

Firm context. Her entire tracked patent practice is at Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP (New York), and New York attorney registration records list her employer as Kasowitz (registration No. 5849898, currently registered). She appears in docket entries both as an associate (earlier IV v. Tesla filings) and, more recently, as counsel/Of Counsel. I found no reliably sourced public record of prior law-firm employment, so her pre-Kasowitz history cannot be verified.

Notable matters and outcomes. The most prominent tracked matters are the Intellectual Ventures campaigns against Tesla (W.D. Tex.), Southwest Airlines, American Airlines, and The Home Depot (2025 filings), where she appears for the patent owner. On the appellate side, she was on the Kasowitz team in Mozido, Inc. v. Apple Inc., where the Federal Circuit issued Rule 36 affirmances (Dec. 8, 2025, No. 24-1741) upholding PTAB decisions invalidating Mozido's virtual-wallet patent claims; the companion appeal, No. 24-1742, likewise went against her client. She was also on the brief in Fintiv, Inc. v. PayPal Holdings, Inc., where the Federal Circuit's precedential April 30, 2025 decision affirmed the Western District of Texas's holding that the "payment handler" claims were means-plus-function and indefinite — an adverse result, as was the mooted companion appeal, No. 24-1345. These are defense-favorable outcomes, so her verifiable appellate record to date includes losses rather than wins; I found no reported verdict or settlement obtained by her clients.

PTAB / IPR experience. Yes, she appears in PTAB proceedings on the patent-owner side, including the Apple v. Mozido IPRs (IPR2022-01149 and -01150, where she filed a February 2024 request for Director Review that was denied), the PayPal v. Fintiv IPR (IPR2023-00744), and the Tesla v. Intellectual Ventures II IPR (IPR2025-00343). Combined with her Federal Circuit appearances, her practice spans both district court and post-grant/appellate work.

Bar and education. Admitted in New York (2021); Fordham University School of Law, per New York State attorney registration records. She is also fluent in Korean (firm bio).
