Scott Alex Lasher

Scott Alex Lasher is a partner at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan based in Washington, D.C., where he is the head of the firm's International Trade Commission (ITC) Section 337 practice. His work is heavily concentrated on patent litigation before the ITC, where he has over two decades of experience representing complainants, respondents, and third parties in more than seventy Section 337 investigations. His practice spans a broad array of technology areas, including consumer electronics, software, and medical devices.

While the provided data shows a plaintiff-side appearance for Bissell Inc., Mr. Lasher’s broader practice profile indicates he represents both patent holders seeking to enforce their rights and companies accused of infringement. His client roster at the ITC has included notable technology companies such as Bissell, Google, Samsung, and JUUL Labs. A recent significant matter includes representing Bissell in its patent infringement disputes against competitor Tineco concerning wet-dry vacuum cleaners, which involved both an ITC investigation and subsequent Federal Circuit appeal.

Mr. Lasher has spent his career at firms known for intellectual property litigation. Prior to his time at Quinn Emanuel, he was a partner at Alston & Bird and at ITC-focused boutique Adduci, Mastriani & Schaumberg. His practice is consistently recognized by legal directories such as Chambers, Legal 500, and IAM Patent 1000.

He earned his J.D. from American University and his undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia. His California bar status is currently inactive.
