Michael T. Renaud

Michael T. Renaud is the Chair of the Intellectual Property Division at Mintz, where he focuses on patent monetization and complex patent litigation for technology companies. His practice frequently involves multinational enforcement and licensing strategies, with a particular emphasis on litigation before the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). Renaud's technical experience is concentrated in the areas of semiconductors, graphics processing units, telecommunications, network software, and e-commerce. He has a background in mechanical engineering.

While the provided data shows a single tracked case on the plaintiff side, Renaud's broader practice involves representing both patent owners and accused infringers. A significant portion of his work is dedicated to developing and executing monetization campaigns for patent holders through litigation, licensing, and sales. He also defends clients accused of infringement, often using early case dispositive motions to resolve threats efficiently. His entire tracked legal career has been at Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo.

Renaud has led numerous high-stakes matters at the ITC. He served as lead counsel for GlobalFoundries in actions against Apple, Broadcom, and Cisco, and for Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) in an ITC investigation against TCL and Realtek, which resulted in a limited exclusion order. He has also represented defendants, successfully defending Juul Labs against an infringement assertion at the ITC, resulting in a finding of non-infringement. He is active before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), handling inter partes review (IPR) proceedings for clients such as Philips and Elm 3DS Innovations and has argued appeals before the Federal Circuit. In the tracked case, he is listed as lead counsel for the plaintiff, Luxottica OF America Inc, in its matter against Solos Technology Ltd.

He holds a J.D. from the University of Connecticut School of Law and a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Duke University.
