Professional Summary — Maryrose F. McLaughlin

Specialty / focus areas. McLaughlin's tracked and searchable patent work clusters in consumer electronics and imaging hardware (360-degree and action cameras, video stabilization, horizon leveling, distortion correction), with additional exposure to data-encryption software and to life-sciences/CRISPR-adjacent gene-editing technology. A significant share of her practice sits at the U.S. International Trade Commission under Section 337, and she has co-authored firm commentary on Federal Circuit law affecting the ITC's domestic-industry requirement (published April 2025 with Mary Prendergast and Jenna Seleznick). She also contributed to MoFo's Federal Circuitry case-analysis posts as a summer associate in 2021, focusing on IPR-related claim construction and objective indicia of nonobviousness.

Side preference. The tracked dataset shows one appearance, on the defense side (0 plaintiff / 1 defendant), representing the respondent/accused infringer. Web-verifiable matters show she also works for patent owners: she was a named member of the MoFo trial team representing Virtru Corporation against Microsoft in the Western District of Washington (settled June 11, 2025, one day before jury selection; case dismissed August 25, 2025), and she appears on a filing on behalf of The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania in University of Pennsylvania v. Genentech (D. Del.). On balance the record indicates a defense-leaning practice for operating companies, with meaningful patent-owner-side experience as well.

Firm context. She is an attorney in Morrison & Foerster's Washington, D.C. office, where her practice is part of the firm's intellectual property litigation group. Her MoFo tenure traces at least to a 2021 summer-associate position; her current title (associate or otherwise) is not confirmed by the sources reviewed. No prior firms were identified.

Notable cases / outcomes. Her most prominent tracked matter is GoPro, Inc. v. Arashi Vision (Insta360), ITC Investigation No. 337‑TA‑1400 (and related Central District of California litigation), in which she is listed among MoFo counsel for respondents Arashi Vision Inc./Arashi Vision (U.S.) LLC. The Commission's February 27, 2026 final determination cleared Insta360 on the five asserted utility patents (invalidity, non-infringement, or both) while upholding a limited exclusion order on GoPro's design patent directed only at certain legacy Ace-series models; the redesign finding of non-infringement was left intact. GoPro has stated it is considering an appeal, and the parallel district court case remains stayed.

PTAB / IPR experience. The Insta360 matter involved Insta360-filed IPR petitions against GoPro patents, but the public record does not confirm McLaughlin's personal role in those PTAB proceedings; her documented PTAB-related work is analytical (Federal Circuit commentary on IPR appeals) rather than confirmed first-chair petition practice. This should be verified through her firm bio or PTAB counsel listings before being asserted.

Bar / education. Not reliably sourced. No firm profile page or bar-admission record was located in the searches performed, and her education is not confirmed; this line should be filled from her MoFo bio or a state bar lookup. Note that published bylines also appear as "Maryrose Fahy McLaughlin," which may aid further verification.
