Kevin X. McGann

I'll research this attorney's professional background before drafting.

Good material. Let me verify specific case outcomes and admission details.

One more check on the Flexiworld matter and WAG IPR results.

Kevin X. McGann — Fenwick & West LLP (New York)

McGann's practice centers on patent litigation and counseling spanning both high technology and life sciences, a characterization Fenwick and Chambers both use. His technology exposure is broad rather than confined to one vertical: streaming media and video delivery (the WAG Acquisition disputes), online advertising and e-commerce (AlmondNet, Flexiworld), mobile and wireless devices, semiconductor design, medical diagnostics, and Hatch-Waxman/ANDA pharmaceutical and biosimilar work. He holds a B.S.E.E. (Manhattan College, 1989) and is a registered patent attorney, so the technical range is consistent with his engineering background. He is ranked in Chambers USA (Band 5, Intellectual Property: Patent – New York) and recognized in IAM Patent 1000.

On side, the tracked docket skews defense: four of six appearances are for defendants, and the identifiable clients are predominantly operating companies — Amazon, Google, Tile, Snowflake, Nextdoor, Tencent America — in NPE/PAE suits. That said, he is not a one-way practitioner; he also does patent-owner enforcement work, including representing CSafe Global (Doubleday Acquisitions) against Envirotainer and Quest Diagnostics in its enforcement action against LabCorp, plus pharmaceutical plaintiffs in ANDA litigation. The plaintiff-side appearances in the tracked list are consistent with that mixed practice.

Firm context: he has been a partner at Fenwick & West in New York since June 2018, when he joined with a six-partner IP litigation group from White & Case, where the group had practiced together for at least a decade. He is the named lead/backup counsel on several Amazon matters at Fenwick, working alongside J. David Hadden, Saina Shamilov and Brian Hoffman.

Notable matters and outcomes: In the WAG Acquisition streaming-media campaign — WAG's suits against Amazon, Google, Netflix, Disney/Hulu and others — he was part of Amazon's Fenwick team that obtained PTAB invalidation of the asserted WAG patents; the Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB decisions via Rule 36 on March 9, 2026, and separately affirmed a Board affirmance of a reexamination rejection of WAG's '011 patent in an August 2026 nonprecedential opinion. He also represented Amazon in the AlmondNet advertising-patent litigation and IPRs (e.g., IPR2025-00873), and was of counsel for Amazon in Flexiworld Technologies. Other reported results include an Alice-based dismissal of four Google Maps patents (Federal Circuit affirmed as to two), dismissal of a Google/YouTube Live multi-actor infringement claim, an IPR win for Tile (IPR2020-00317), an injunction and fee award for Nextdoor, and an infringement judgment under the doctrine of equivalents for pharmaceutical clients, affirmed on appeal.

PTAB/IPR: He appears regularly in AIA proceedings, both as petitioner's counsel (Amazon challenges to WAG patents; Supercell IPRs/PGR against GREE; Tile IPR) and as patent owner's counsel (CSafe/Envirotainer IPRs, where he argued at the August 2023 consolidated hearing). His registration number (48,793) appears on multiple PTAB powers of attorney.

Bar/education: J.D., Fordham University School of Law (1995); B.S.E.E., Manhattan College (1989). Admitted in New Jersey (1995) and New York (1997); registered to practice before the USPTO; admitted to the Federal Circuit and several district courts, including S.D.N.Y., D. Del., N.D. Cal. and E.D. Tex.
