Sam C. Meyer

Sam C. Meyer is an associate in the Intellectual Property Litigation Group at Morrison & Foerster, focusing on patent litigation and ITC litigation. His practice involves defending operating companies, as evidenced by his work on the defendant side in tracked cases. His technical background includes a B.S. in Neuroscience and Bioinformatics, and his litigation experience includes matters involving action camera technologies such as virtual lens simulation, digital stabilization, and horizon leveling.

A notable aspect of his practice is his involvement as an associate in GoPro, Inc. v. Insta360, a high-stakes Section 337 investigation before the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC Investigation No. 337-TA-1400). In this matter, Morrison & Foerster secured a significant victory for Insta360, with the ITC ruling no violation on all five utility patents asserted by GoPro (covering stabilization, horizon leveling, and distortion correction). The ITC found only limited infringement on a design patent related to certain older Insta360 Ace models, with no impact on Insta360's current product lineup or U.S. sales.

Mr. Meyer is admitted to practice in California and before the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. He earned his J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law and his B.S. in Neuroscience and Bioinformatics from Brigham Young University.

While Morrison & Foerster is active in PTAB proceedings, there is no readily available information indicating specific experience for Mr. Meyer in Inter Partes Review (IPR) or other Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) matters.
