Her practice encompasses a broad range of technologies, including biopharmaceuticals, medical devices, machine learning, electronics, telecommunications, LED technology, plant patents, and software applications. She primarily represents defendants, as evidenced by her tracked appearances and her firm's descriptions of advising global technology companies and defending operating entities.

Currently a partner at Jones Day, Ms. Bennett joined the firm in 2022 from Dentons. Early in her career, she also served as local counsel for Gillam & Smith, notably in the case of Orthosie Systems, LLC v. SVR, LLC.

Ms. Bennett's notable experience includes successfully representing MedImpact Healthcare Systems in trade secret litigation and securing a district court finding for the Canadian government in a plant patent infringement case, establishing that the "Glory" cherry variety was the Canada-bred "Staccato®". She is currently co-leading the representation of Alamar Biosciences in a competitor patent infringement lawsuit and its associated IPR proceedings, and is also representing E. & J. Gallo Winery in a multi-patent infringement suit. Her career highlights also feature work on a six-patent optical networking case and a patent infringement matter for a multinational consumer electronics company involving video game console controllers.

Actively involved in post-grant review, Ms. Bennett co-leads IPR proceedings for clients such as Alamar Biosciences, and has argued that IPR petitions were time-barred in cases like Bennett Regulator Guards, Inc. v. Atlanta Gas Light Co. She earned her J.D. from Santa Clara University in 2004 and a B.S. in Biological Sciences from the University of Southern California in 2000, and is admitted to the California bar and registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
