Richard L. DeLucenay

Richard L. DeLucenay is an attorney with experience defending operating companies in patent litigation, notably serving as in-house counsel for Microsoft Corporation. His practice has involved disputes concerning software technology, specifically anti-piracy and product activation features, as evidenced by his role in a prominent case.

DeLucenay primarily operates on the defendant side, representing large technology corporations. His known involvement as in-house counsel for Microsoft Corporation in Uniloc USA, Inc. v. Microsoft Corporation exemplifies this focus.

In the significant case of Uniloc USA, Inc. v. Microsoft Corporation, DeLucenay was part of the legal team defending Microsoft against allegations of patent infringement related to software anti-piracy technology. The litigation was notable for its procedural history, including a jury's initial award of $388 million against Microsoft, which was subsequently overturned by the district court. The Federal Circuit ultimately reversed and remanded parts of the decision, issuing landmark rulings that rejected the "25 percent rule of thumb" and limited the application of the "entire market value rule" in calculating patent damages, thus influencing future patent damages jurisprudence.

Information regarding his current firm context, any prior private practice firms, PTAB/IPR experience, bar admissions, or specific educational background is not publicly available.
