Patrick B. Green

Patrick B. Green is a Member in the Detroit office of Dickinson Wright, where his practice primarily focuses on commercial litigation. His experience spans federal and state courts across Michigan and Illinois, handling disputes related to contract breaches, business torts, misappropriation of trade secrets, and non-competition agreements.

His involvement in patent litigation includes representing plaintiffs, as evidenced by his role as Counsel in Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. v. Netlist, Inc. This case indicates his engagement in patent disputes within the electronics or telecommunications sectors. While Dickinson Wright's intellectual property team handles patent cases across various technical disciplines and before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), Green's individual profile emphasizes commercial and trade secret litigation, rather than specific technical patent prosecution or post-grant review experience.

Green has achieved notable outcomes in his commercial litigation practice, including successful prosecution for a Fortune 500 automotive supplier in bankruptcy adversary proceedings, securing judgments totaling over $8 million for a national savings bank, and obtaining a jury verdict exceeding $1 million for a medical practice purchaser. He has also successfully defended clients against Lanham Act claims and defamation allegations, with affirmations on appeal by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Patrick B. Green earned his J.D., cum laude, from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law in 2005 and a B.A. from James Madison College, Michigan State University, in 2002. He is admitted to practice in Illinois and Michigan. His professional background as presented does not indicate registration with the USPTO as a patent attorney or a specific technical undergraduate degree, suggesting his patent litigation work often aligns with his broader commercial and trade secret expertise.
