Robert P. Feldman

Robert P. Feldman is a highly experienced senior counsel at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP, based in Silicon Valley, focusing his practice on intellectual property litigation and high-stakes civil disputes. He joined Quinn Emanuel in 2007, following a career that included serving as a partner and litigation department chair at a prominent Silicon Valley law firm.

Mr. Feldman's patent litigation practice primarily involves defending operating companies in complex technology disputes. His experience spans semiconductor technology, telecommunications (including 56k modem technology), and software, as evidenced by his representation in numerous global patent lawsuits for semiconductor companies and a major software firm. His track record, including the case of Uniloc USA, Inc. v. Adobe Systems Inc. where he served as lead counsel for the defendant, indicates a strong orientation towards defending against patent assertions.

Notable representations include leading a team in resolving 17 patent lawsuits between two large semiconductor companies and representing a major software company in a license dispute where the jury entirely rejected the plaintiff's claims. He also successfully represented the largest independent supplier of voicemail systems in a patent infringement trial, securing a jury verdict that invalidated each asserted patent. Additionally, Mr. Feldman represented the first smartphone manufacturer to achieve a global resolution during the "smartphone wars" of 2010-2013 and recently represented OpenAI in a trademark infringement and fraud case. Information regarding his specific involvement in PTAB or IPR proceedings is not reliably sourced.

Mr. Feldman earned his J.D. from Columbia Law School in 1975 and is admitted to the State Bar of California, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and several U.S. District Courts.
