Justin Linetski

Justin Linetski is an associate in the Intellectual Property Litigation group at Irell & Manella LLP, focusing his practice on complex patent disputes. His experience includes matters involving patents essential to industry standards, particularly in the telecommunications sector.

Mr. Linetski primarily represents plaintiffs in patent litigation. This is evidenced by his role on the trial team for G+ Communications, LLC in its case against Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. et al., where he represented the plaintiff.

A significant outcome in his practice includes his involvement in G+ Communications, LLC v. Samsung Electronics Co. LTD., et al. (E.D. Tex.). In this case, G+ Communications secured a jury verdict in January 2024 finding infringement of two 5G standard-essential patents and rejecting Samsung's claims regarding good faith negotiation. A subsequent damages retrial in April 2024 resulted in a $142 million patent damages verdict for G+ Communications. While the firm handles "Patent Office Trials," his specific individual PTAB/IPR experience is not detailed.

Mr. Linetski is admitted to practice in California and before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. He earned his J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 2023, where he co-presided over the Penn Intellectual Property Group, and holds a B.A. in Biochemistry from the University of Pennsylvania.
