Lauren Mogensen

Lauren Mogensen serves as the Global General Counsel for Bank of America, where her patent litigation practice primarily involves defending the financial institution against intellectual property assertions. Her single tracked appearance in Wapp Tech Limited Partnership et al. v. Bank of America Corporation demonstrates her involvement in cases concerning software and mobile technology, specifically related to mobile device application development and testing systems that simulate network characteristics for performance. This aligns her patent litigation experience with technology central to a major bank's operations, placing her firmly on the defendant side.

Ms. Mogensen has been with Bank of America (and its predecessor FleetBoston Financial) since 2001, assuming the role of Global General Counsel in 2021. Prior to her in-house career, she was a partner at Edwards & Angell, LLP (now Locke Lorde LLP), where her practice focused on general corporate law, securities, and mergers and acquisitions, rather than direct patent litigation. The Wapp Tech litigation campaign, in which Bank of America was a defendant, involved patents broadly asserted against financial institutions and technology companies, with a related case against Micro Focus resulting in a $172 million jury verdict and a subsequent $67.5 million settlement.

While the patents asserted in the Wapp Tech campaign were also subject to inter partes review (IPR) proceedings initiated by other defendants, there is no public record indicating Ms. Mogensen personally appears in PTAB or IPR proceedings. She earned her J.D. with honors from George Washington University Law School in 1988 and a B.A. in Government with distinction from Colby College in 1984.
