Jonathan Detrixhe

Jonathan Detrixhe is an accomplished patent litigator and Of Counsel at Reed Smith LLP, specializing in securing favorable outcomes for clients across district courts, the Patent Trial and Appeals Board (PTAB), and the International Trade Commission (ITC). Drawing on his electrical engineering background, he handles cases across diverse technologies, including computer hardware and software, wired and wireless communication systems, medical devices, consumer electronics, semiconductors, optics, speech processing, video coding, and video games.

Detrixhe primarily focuses on defending operating companies against patent infringement claims, with all his tracked appearances being on the defendant side. His firm profile emphasizes his success in securing favorable outcomes for clients, aligning with his role in complex defense litigation.

A significant portion of his practice involves post-grant proceedings, particularly Inter Partes Review (IPR) before the PTAB, where he frequently serves as lead counsel for both petitioners and patent owners. His notable experience includes representing Keysight Technologies as a joined petitioner in multiple IPRs challenging patents owned by Centripetal Networks, LLC. In these proceedings, the Reed Smith team achieved Federal Circuit affirmations of ITC decisions finding no infringement, along with PTAB decisions that invalidated numerous claims across several of Centripetal's patents. This includes the PTAB's recent invalidation of the final Centripetal patent linked to a previously vacated $1.9 billion district court verdict against Cisco.

Detrixhe earned his J.D. from New York University School of Law and a B.S. from the University of Texas. He is admitted to practice in California and registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
