Michael G. Lorig

Michael G. Lorig is an attorney at Bartko Pavia, a firm specializing in complex litigation with a robust intellectual property practice. His work in patent litigation, as reflected in available records, currently involves representing defendants in disputes.

His experience includes defending clients in cases concerning software and e-commerce technologies. For instance, he served as counsel for the defendant in Monticello Enterprises LLC v. Petco Animals Supply Stores Inc et al. This case involved six U.S. patents related to browser payment interfaces and in-store/in-app purchase APIs, technologies central to modern e-commerce. While this specific case was administratively closed in April 2024 due to procedural consolidation with a lead case, no merits determination was reached in the portion of the litigation where Lorig was involved, and the broader litigation continues.

Bartko Pavia generally handles intellectual property litigation across diverse technology areas, including patent, trade secret, copyright, trademark, and technology licensing, for both plaintiffs and defendants. The firm was formed in March 2025 through the merger of Bartko LLP and Pavia & Harcourt LLP, establishing a presence in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York.
