Neda Dadpey — patent litigation practice summary

Focus areas. Ms. Dadpey's docket record shows a general patent litigation practice concentrated in software and life sciences. Her tracked matters and related court records include defense work for Adobe in software patent suits (Peter Henrik Pedersen v. Adobe Inc.; Adobe Inc. v. Peter Henrik Pedersen; Esignature Software, LLC v. Adobe, Inc. (N.D. Cal.); Richardson v. Adobe, Inc. (S.D.N.Y.)), as well as biotech and genomics litigation — AbCellera Biologics Inc. v. Bruker Cellular Analysis, Inc. (N.D. Cal.) and Illumina, Inc. v. BGI Genomics Co. (N.D. Cal.) — and a D. Del. instrumentation/coatings matter, SilcoTek Corp. v. Waters Corp. No Wi-Fi/standards-essential or pharmaceutical-ANDA work is evident from the record. I was not able to retrieve a current firm practice-page description, so this characterization rests on court dockets rather than her own stated specialty.

Side preference. Her tracked appearances are 0 plaintiff-side and 2 defendant-side, and the broader docket record is consistent with that: the Adobe, BGI/Illumina, and Waters matters all appear to be defense engagements for operating companies. The one apparent exception is AbCellera Biologics v. Bruker Cellular Analysis, where a CourtListener minute entry lists her among plaintiff's counsel. On balance, the record reflects a primarily defense-side practice representing technology and life-sciences companies rather than NPE/PAE plaintiff work — though the sample is small.

Firm context and notable matters. She appeared in the tracked cases as Arnold & Porter / Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer counsel (identified as an associate in 2020 firm materials), and New York bar registration and Law360 currently list her at Paul Hastings in New York. She appears as pro hac vice counsel in the N.D. Cal. matters, consistent with a New York-based practice. Her most prominent matters by name are the Adobe patent litigations and Illumina v. BGI Genomics, in which she is listed alongside Arnold & Porter's patent trial team (Matthew Wolf, Wallace Wu, and others). I found no verifiable verdicts, Federal Circuit appeals, or settlement outcomes attributable to her specifically.

PTAB/IPR and credentials. I found no verifiable IPR, PGR, or other PTAB appearance in her name; her public record reflects district court litigation only, so any PTAB experience should be confirmed directly rather than assumed. She is admitted in New York (registration no. 5700992, admitted 2019, currently registered) and is a graduate of the University of Maryland School of Law. Pro hac vice admissions in California federal courts are documented; no other bar admissions were confirmed.
