Richard K. Herrmann is a highly experienced attorney at Morris James LLP, focusing his practice on Intellectual Property Litigation, Business Litigation, and eDiscovery. His client roster, as seen in various case filings, spans a broad range of industries, including pharmaceuticals (e.g., Allergan, Amgen, Pfizer, Mylan), electronics and software (e.g., Apple, BlackBerry, Cisco, LG Electronics, Motorola, Sprint, ZTE), and diversified manufacturing.

This suggests a practice geared towards defending operating companies in patent disputes.

Throughout his career, Mr. Herrmann has demonstrated a significant commitment to advancing legal technology. He previously served as co-chair of the Delaware Supreme Court Commission on Law and Technology and was instrumental in the development of e-filing, making Delaware the first court system to adopt such a system in 1991. He also co-founded the Richard K. Herrmann Technology American Inn of Court, which focuses exclusively on technology and legal practice. While his work emphasizes legal technology, publicly cited case outcomes or specific notable patent litigation verdicts are not readily available.

There is no reliably sourced information indicating his regular appearance in PTAB or IPR proceedings.

Mr. Herrmann earned his B.S. from Syracuse University in 1969 and his J.D. from Syracuse Law School in 1971.
