Megan S. Woodworth

Megan S. Woodworth is a partner at Venable LLP in Washington, D.C., where she co-chairs the Intellectual Property Litigation – Technology Group. Her practice concentrates on patent litigation across a range of sophisticated technologies, including medical devices, software, telecommunications, and automotive systems. She represents clients in federal district courts, at the International Trade Commission (ITC), and in appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

Based on the provided case data, Woodworth has recently acted as lead counsel for a plaintiff, Promotion In Motion Inc., in a patent infringement suit. However, her broader practice experience includes significant defensive work. For instance, she has represented medical device company Arthrex in multiple Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) proceedings that successfully invalidated patent claims, a result that was later affirmed by the Federal Circuit in July 2025. The IP litigation group at her firm is noted to represent both patent holders and accused infringers.

Woodworth has extensive experience in appellate patent matters, having argued several cases before the Federal Circuit and authored numerous appellate briefs. Her background includes a clerkship for the Honorable Kimberly A. Moore at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Prior to joining Venable, she was an associate at Dickstein Shapiro LLP.

She is a registered patent attorney with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and is admitted to the bars of the District of Columbia and Maryland. Woodworth earned her J.D. with honors from the University of North Carolina School of Law and holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois.
