Lori A. Ding is an experienced patent litigation attorney and "of counsel" at Baker Botts, where her practice spans a diverse array of intellectual property matters. Her technology focus areas include data processing and storage systems, oil and gas technologies, and telecommunications networks. She also handles cases involving consumer electronics, such as wet/dry surface cleaning devices, as evidenced by her work in Bissell Inc. v. Tineco Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. In addition to litigation, Ms. Ding has experience in patent prosecution and post-grant review proceedings.

Ms. Ding demonstrates experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants in patent disputes. While her tracked appearance includes plaintiff-side work for Bissell Inc., she was also an associate on the Baker Botts team that successfully secured a verdict reversal for DISH Network, vacating a $469 million jury verdict in a patent infringement case. Her firm profile indicates she represents clients in federal district courts, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), and the Federal Circuit, showing a comprehensive patent litigation practice.

Notable case experience includes her role as counsel for Bissell Inc. in an ITC investigation and subsequent Federal Circuit appeal against Tineco Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.. The Federal Circuit affirmed the ITC's finding that Tineco's original products infringed Bissell's patents, leading to a limited exclusion order, though Tineco's redesigned products were found not to infringe. Earlier in her career, Ms. Ding was part of the Baker Botts team that achieved a significant victory for DISH Network when a district court vacated a substantial jury verdict in a patent infringement lawsuit brought by ClearPlay, Inc. She actively practices before the PTAB in post-grant review proceedings and has significant experience with Federal Circuit appeals, having worked on over 40 such appeals.

Prior to joining Baker Botts, Ms. Ding clerked for the Honorable Richard G. Taranto of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. She is admitted to practice before the State Bar of Texas, the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Supreme Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
