Noah B. Cherkis

Noah B. Cherkis is an attorney focusing on patent litigation, with experience representing plaintiffs. His practice appears to encompass mechanical and consumer product-related technologies, as evidenced by his involvement in cases concerning motor vehicles.

Cherkis has represented plaintiffs in patent disputes. His sole tracked appearance, in ETN Capital LLC v. Thor Motor Coach, Inc., was on the plaintiff side. The underlying legal issues in related cases, such as Diaz v. Thor Motor Coach Inc. and Lathrop v. Thor Motor Coach, Inc., involve disputes over consumer warranty acts and the enforceability of forum selection clauses in the sale of motorhomes. While these related cases are not directly patent matters, they indicate a practice that engages with the legal aspects of manufacturing and sales for complex consumer goods.

Currently, Noah B. Cherkis is a partner at Sidley Austin LLP.

One notable case, Lathrop v. Thor Motor Coach, Inc., which has been reviewed by the California Court of Appeal and the California Supreme Court, concerns the enforceability of forum selection clauses in consumer contracts and the protection of unwaivable statutory rights. This case explores whether a stipulation to apply California law in a different forum is sufficient to overcome allegations that a forum selection clause would diminish a party's unwaivable rights.
