Radhesh Devendran

I'll research this attorney before drafting.

Let me verify a few additional details on PTAB work, bar admissions, and the specific case outcomes.

Radhesh Devendran — Patent Litigation Summary

Focus areas. Devendran is an associate in the Intellectual Property group at White & Case in Palo Alto, where his practice centers on technology and patent litigation. His reported matters span computer/network security (the Webroot/Open Text v. Trend Micro disputes, involving 17 asserted security patents and Trend Micro counterclaims), telecommunications and standard-essential licensing (3G Licensing v. HTC), consumer electronics (Canon v. TCL on smart TVs; HTC matters involving gesture recognition and contactless payment), optical fiber communications (an ITC action for Xtera), and — most recently — solar photovoltaic connector hardware in the Shoals Technologies v. Voltage dispute. His firm bio also cites wearable health technology, data compression, and short-form mobile video work, reflecting a broad electronics/software-and-hardware mix rather than a single technical niche.

Side preference. His tracked appearances and firm-reported representations are overwhelmingly defensive: he has appeared for defendants such as Voltage, X Corp. (EasyWeb Innovations v. X Corp.; Sterling Computers v. X Corp., both WDTX filings against operating companies), HTC, and Trend Micro, consistent with the 0 plaintiff / 1 defendant tracked count. The one notable exception is his work for Canon as plaintiff in Canon v. TCL, and he has also asserted infringement counterclaims on behalf of Trend Micro — so his practice is best described as defending technology companies against NPE/PAE and competitor suits, with occasional offensive and counterclaim work.

Firm context. He joined White & Case effective March 21, 2023, moving from Paul Hastings LLP, where several of his representative matters originated (including Philips North America v. Fitbit and the Webroot/Trend Micro litigation). He is admitted to practice in California (State Bar No. 318517, admitted December 5, 2017) and, per his firm profile, before the Northern and Central Districts of California, the Western District of Texas, and the Federal Circuit. He holds a JD and a Technology and Entrepreneurship Law certificate from USC Gould School of Law and BA degrees in Computer Science and Political Science from UC Berkeley.

Notable cases and outcomes. The most prominent is Shoals Technologies Group v. Voltage (ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1365, with a parallel, stayed M.D.N.C. action), where he was part of the White & Case team that secured a rare full reversal: in January 2025 the Commission revisited the presiding ALJ's final initial determination and found no violation of Section 337, revising claim construction of the term "aperture" and rejecting infringement and domestic-industry findings on the last remaining patent. The team had earlier knocked out one patent on summary determination for lack of domestic industry — a ruling Shoals appealed and then abandoned. The result cleared Voltage on all three asserted patents and drew recognition from The American Lawyer's Litigation Daily. On the PTAB side, his bio states he has worked on multiple inter partes reviews and ex parte reexaminations, though public records do not show him as lead counsel of record in a specific IPR proceeding, so that experience is best characterized as supporting rather than first-chair. He has also co-authored commentary on Federal Circuit damages law (Daily Journal, May 2024, with Yar Chaikovsky).

Note: the subject shares a name with other attorneys; this summary is based on records tied to the Palo Alto IP litigator at White & Case (California Bar No. 318517).
