Robert R. Raskopf

Based on publicly available information, Robert R. Raskopf is a prominent intellectual property trial and appellate lawyer whose practice is primarily focused on trademark, copyright, media, and sports litigation rather than patent disputes. He is a Partner at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, where he serves as Chair of the firm's National Sports Litigation Practice and Co-Chair of its Trademark & Copyright and Media & Entertainment practices. His broader IP practice involves representing major institutional clients; for example, he served for over two decades as chief outside counsel for the National Football League on IP and licensing matters and represented the Washington Redskins in a major trademark victory before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Mr. Raskopf’s experience in patent litigation appears limited, with one tracked case representing plaintiff Valve Corporation as counsel in Valve Corporation v. Ironburg Inventions Ltd. This dispute involved patents on video game controllers and included extensive proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and multiple appeals to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The related district court litigation resulted in a jury verdict of willful infringement and an award of over $4 million in damages against Valve.

Mr. Raskopf has been with Quinn Emanuel since 2006. His prior career includes supervising the IP group at White & Case and starting his career at Townley & Updike. He is a graduate of Boston College Law School.
