Maxwell C. Hlavin

Maxwell C. Hlavin is an attorney at Gentry Locke, where he has appeared as local counsel in at least one patent litigation matter. The firm's Intellectual Property & Technology practice group indicates it provides "patent assistance" alongside broader IP services including copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and matters involving emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, software, and data privacy.

His sole tracked patent litigation appearance is representing the plaintiff, Thales DIS France SA, as local counsel in Thales DIS France SA v. Canadian Bank Note Company Ltd et al., filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. This case involves disputes related to card security technology. Given the limited number of tracked cases and his role as local counsel in the sole instance, a definitive side preference or specific technology focus cannot be conclusively determined from the available patent litigation record.

There is no publicly available information indicating Maxwell C. Hlavin's regular involvement in PTAB or IPR proceedings. No specific notable outcomes directly attributable to his patent litigation work or details regarding his bar admissions and education could be reliably sourced for this specific Maxwell C. Hlavin beyond his affiliation with Gentry Locke in the context of the identified patent litigation. It is noted that a "Max C. Hlavin" associated with Sands Anderson specializing in local government law, including land use and zoning, appears to be a different individual.
