Summary of Patent Litigation Practice: Taylor H. Ludlam

Taylor H. Ludlam is an experienced intellectual property litigator who is currently the Executive Director of Global Litigation at Lenovo. Prior to moving in-house, she was a partner at Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton for over 18 years, where she was the head of the firm's Patent Litigation Team in North Carolina.

While at Kilpatrick Townsend, Ms. Ludlam represented a range of clients in federal courts and before the U.S. International Trade Commission.

In her current role at Lenovo, she oversees the company's global portfolio of IP and commercial litigation and was instrumental in securing a global patent cross-license agreement with Ericsson in 2025, settling a multi-jurisdictional dispute over standard-essential patents.

Ms. Ludlam's experience includes significant courtroom and trial work in patent and complex commercial cases.
