Teague Ian Donahey

Teague Ian Donahey is an experienced patent litigator focusing on high-stakes intellectual property disputes for technology companies in federal courts and before the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). His practice encompasses a wide range of technologies, including consumer electronic devices, computer hardware and software, semiconductors, telecommunications, energy, and medical devices.

Donahey primarily represents operating companies, handling both plaintiff and defendant-side matters. While his tracked appearances include representing plaintiffs such as Micron Technology, Inc. in patent infringement actions, his public profile also highlights significant defense-side victories. For instance, he served as trial counsel for an electronics client in Universal Electronics, Inc. v. Universal Remote Control, Inc., where a jury found non-infringement, invalidity, and unenforceability, and obtained summary judgment of patent invalidity affirmed by the Federal Circuit in Konami Gaming, Inc. v. High 5 Games, LLC. He has also successfully secured a General Exclusion Order from the ITC in In the Matter of Certain Pillows and Seat Cushions.

Currently Of Counsel at Holland & Hart LLP in Boise, Idaho, Mr. Donahey previously held a partnership at Sidley Austin LLP in San Francisco and worked with another firm in Silicon Valley. His profile emphasizes extensive experience in ITC Section 337 investigations. However, his professional summaries do not prominently feature specific experience in Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) or Inter Partes Review (IPR) proceedings.

Mr. Donahey earned his J.D. from George Washington University School of Law in 1998, where he was a recipient of the Marcus B. Finnegan Prize in Intellectual Property Law, and a B.A. cum laude from Amherst College in 1992. He is admitted to practice in Idaho and California, as well as before the U.S. Supreme Court, the Federal Circuit, and other federal appellate and district courts.
