1 tracked appearance — 0 plaintiff · 1 defendant.
Specialty & background
I'll research this attorney before drafting.
Let me dig deeper on the case and her background.
Let me try to pin down bar admission and education details.
Specialty / focus areas. Kristen Lai is a Morrison Foerster associate whose practice centers on IP litigation and post-grant strategy and disputes. Her firm bio lists technology areas spanning computer software, semiconductors, image/video processing, smart devices, and medical devices, with work in U.S. federal courts and before the International Trade Commission. Her single tracked case fits that profile: consumer camera/imaging technology involving image stabilization, horizon leveling, distortion correction, and aspect-ratio conversion.
Side preference. Her tracked record is defense-side (0 plaintiff, 1 defendant), and that is consistent with her documented role representing Arashi Vision (Insta360) as respondent/defendant.
Firm context. She is at Morrison & Foerster, where she is listed as an associate. No prior firm history surfaced in the sources reviewed.
Notable cases and outcomes. Her most prominent matter is GoPro, Inc. v. Insta360 — Inv. No. 337-TA-1400 at the ITC, with a parallel action in the Central District of California. She is named among the MoFo team that secured a complete defense victory for Insta360 in the Commission's February 26, 2026 final determination: all five asserted GoPro utility patents (covering stabilization, horizon leveling, distortion correction, and aspect-ratio conversion) were resolved in Insta360's favor as invalid, not infringed, or both, and the Commission reversed an ALJ infringement finding on the '052 patent while adding a non-infringement ground on the '840 patent. A limited exclusion order applied only to certain older Ace-series models under the asserted design patent (D'435); current products were unaffected. The team was led by partners Lily Li and Mark Whitaker. Note that the outcome is a team result; no individual contribution by Lai is separately documented, and GoPro retained appeal rights.
PTAB / IPR experience. Her firm bio expressly cites "post-grant strategy and disputes," and PTAB-related filings appear in the Insta360 matter, but the available sources do not show her personally named on IPR/PGR petitions or papers, so regular PTAB appearance is not verifiable from the record reviewed.
Bar / education. Not reliably sourced in the materials reviewed; omitted.
