Monica A. Hernandez

I'll research this attorney before drafting.

Multiple people share this name — I need to disambiguate the patent litigator from others.

Let me pin down the specific tracked case and the attorney's professional history.

Verification note: The name "Monica A. Hernandez" is shared by several California attorneys, and public records do not cleanly resolve which profile belongs to the Bingham McCutchen lawyer in the tracked case. The "Monica Hernandez" at Nelson Mullins (San Diego) and "Monica Yee Hernandez" (Cal. Bar No. 302509, Hastings 2014) are commercial/general litigators and are not this patent litigator. Confirm identity before publishing any bio detail below drawn from third-party profiles.

Specialty / focus areas. The single tracked appearance is a display/consumer-electronics patent matter: Innovative Display Technologies LLC v. Research in Motion Limited, in which the asserted family is the "Light Emitting Panel Assemblies" patents (U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,755,547; 7,300,194; 7,384,177; 7,404,660; 7,434,974; 7,537,370; 8,215,816) covering LED backlight/light-guide technology used in smartphones, tablets, laptops and displays. That places her work in hardware/display and mobile-device patent litigation rather than pharma or standards-based Wi-Fi work. One data point is too thin to establish a practice profile; a Law360 firm listing for a "Monica A. Hernandez" at Pillsbury Winthrop (Palo Alto) shows further patent matters, including Vector Launch Inc. v. Lockheed Martin Corp. (C.D. Cal., 2019), but the identity match is unconfirmed.

Side preference. The tracked record is 0 plaintiff-side and 1 defendant-side appearance, as lead counsel. That single matter was a defense of an accused operating company (BlackBerry/RIM) against a patent assertion entity — IDT was an Acacia Research–affiliated vehicle then running a broad, multi-defendant assertion campaign against handset and display manufacturers. With one appearance, no broader side preference can be stated as fact.

Firm context. The tracked appearance is at Bingham McCutchen LLP, a firm that dissolved in November 2014, with a large contingent of its lawyers moving to Morgan Lewis. Any later affiliation is not verifiable from the authoritative case list. A California State Bar record for a "Monica A. Hernandez" (Bar No. 280195, Stanford Law School, admitted December 2011) currently lists Amazon.com Services LLC; if that is the same person, it would indicate an in-house move, but this has not been confirmed against the Bingham case record.

Notable cases, outcomes, PTAB, bar/education. No public verdict, judgment, settlement figure, or Federal Circuit disposition was located for the tracked case; IDT's campaign against device makers is generally understood to have resolved largely through settlement and licensing, but I cannot attribute any specific result to this attorney. There are numerous IPRs against the IDT light-panel patents (e.g., IPR2014-01094, IPR2015-01067, IPR2015-01113/01115/01995), but those were filed by LG Display, LG Electronics and other petitioners through separate counsel (Mayer Brown, Fried Frank, Ahmad Zavitsanos), and I found no verifiable PTAB/IPR appearances by this attorney. Bar admission and education: if the Cal. Bar No. 280195 record is hers, she was admitted in California in 2011 and holds a J.D. from Stanford Law School — treat as unconfirmed pending disambiguation.
