Jennifer L. Gilbert

Jennifer L. Gilbert is a patent litigation attorney with Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer, focusing on complex intellectual property disputes. Her practice encompasses patent infringement, trademark, trade secret cases, and technology-related contract disputes. She has significant experience litigating matters involving diverse technologies, including computer software and hardware, cloud computing, data storage, network security systems, telecommunications, smartphones, and mobile technology.

Throughout her career, Ms. Gilbert has represented both intellectual property owners in enforcing their rights and companies defending against allegations of infringement. However, her notable cases and tracked appearances, such as her role as counsel in WinView IP Holdings, LLC v. DraftKings and an untitled case, primarily indicate a strong emphasis on the plaintiff side, often for patent holders. Before joining Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer, she was a patent litigation partner at a Silicon Valley-based intellectual property litigation firm, Bunsow De Mory LLP.

Her accomplishments include securing a $9.25 million jury verdict in a patent infringement suit concerning automated synchronous price and advertising technology. She has also achieved favorable settlements in several high-profile enforcement actions, including a five-patent dispute related to computer network functionality and security against a major global cloud computing company, and actions involving email filtering technology, virtual file systems, voice command technology in mobile devices, and software licensing. While her profile mentions experience before the U.S. International Trade Commission, regular appearances in PTAB/IPR proceedings are not explicitly highlighted in available sources.

Ms. Gilbert earned her J.D. from Santa Clara University School of Law in 2007 and was admitted to the California Bar in 2008. She also holds a B.A., magna cum laude, in Communication from Santa Clara University. She is admitted to practice in various U.S. District Courts and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
