Karen Keller

Karen Keller is a managing partner and co-founder at Shaw Keller LLP, where her practice focuses on intellectual property and commercial litigation, with a strong emphasis on patent infringement disputes. She is recognized for her extensive experience representing clients in the District of Delaware.

Her patent litigation practice spans a diverse range of technology areas, including agricultural chemicals, human and veterinary pharmaceuticals, high-performance liquid chromatography, biotechnology products, and networking technologies.

A notable case in her practice includes representing Mundra Solar PV Limited in a patent infringement lawsuit against First Solar, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. In connection with this matter, Keller was involved in Inter Partes Review (IPR) proceedings at the USPTO, where Mundra Solar's petitions challenging First Solar's TOPCon solar cell technology patents were ultimately denied.

Ms. Keller earned her Bachelor's Degree in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from The Pennsylvania State University and her J.D. from Temple University Beasley School of Law. Prior to co-founding Shaw Keller in 2011, she was an associate at Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor LLP, focusing on corporate and intellectual property litigation. She also serves as a special master for the District Court in Delaware.
