Julien Adams is a partner at the boutique litigation firm Dovel & Luner LLP, where his practice includes high-stakes patent infringement litigation. Based on his case history, he focuses on representing patent holders in enforcement actions. His work has involved technologies such as software, online advertising methods, and mechanical-electrical devices like e-cigarettes. He has been with Dovel & Luner since 2001, becoming a partner in 2002. His earlier career included roles at O'Melveny & Myers and Kaye Scholer, as well as six years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Los Angeles and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where he tried 21 cases to a jury.

Consistent with the provided data showing him exclusively on the plaintiff side, Adams represents patent owners in asserting their rights. His firm biography highlights representations of inventor-owned companies and patent licensing entities. For example, in VPR Brands, LP v. XL Vape LLC, Adams acted as lead counsel for VPR in an enforcement campaign for a patent on "auto-draw" e-cigarette technology. VPR Brands publicly announced multiple settlements related to this campaign, including a $155,000 settlement with the XL Parties and a later multi-million dollar resolution with other defendants. Adams also represented TQP Development, LLC, a well-known patent assertion entity, in its litigation against Chegg Inc. over a foundational patent related to internet data encryption.

No public record of regular appearances in PTAB proceedings such as inter partes review (IPR) was found.

Mr. Adams earned his J.D. from the University of California, Berkeley School of Law in 1991 and a B.A. from the University of Southern California in 1988. He is a member of the State Bar of California.
