Additionally, he has litigated matters involving trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets in industries such as software, media, and apparel.

Mr. Brothers has demonstrated proficiency representing both plaintiffs and defendants in intellectual property disputes. While his tracked appearances include one plaintiff-side role, his public professional background highlights successful enforcement of patents for plaintiffs, as well as defense against infringement claims for various companies.

He was a partner in the Intellectual Property Practice of Dickstein Shapiro LLP, a firm that dissolved in 2016. Information regarding his current firm affiliation is not publicly available in reliably sourced professional profiles.

Among his notable engagements, Mr. Brothers served as trial counsel for I/P Engine, Inc. in I/P Engine, Inc. v. AOL, Inc. et al. The case initially resulted in a jury verdict of over $30 million for infringement and a finding of non-obviousness for his client, though this judgment was later reversed on appeal by the Federal Circuit due to obviousness. Other significant matters include successfully enforcing patents for Merit Industries, securing a favorable settlement for Lectrolarm in a patent and trademark infringement action after a favorable Markman decision, and obtaining summary judgment for the Electronic Industry Alliance/Consumer Electronics Manufacturing Association in a patent infringement and antitrust action, which was affirmed on appeal. His public professional profiles do not highlight specific experience with proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) or inter partes reviews (IPRs).

Mr. Brothers earned his B.S. from the University of Utah in 1985 and his J.D. from The George Washington University Law School in 1988 with honors.
