Timothy P. McAnulty is a Partner at Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, based in Washington, D.C.. His practice encompasses all facets of patent law, including district court litigation, post-grant proceedings, strategic counseling, due diligence, and patent portfolio development.
McAnulty handles a diverse range of technologies, representing clients such as device manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies. His experience includes matters under the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCIA), as well as technologies spanning materials (particularly polymers), hydraulics, business methods, signal processing, and fabricated parts. These areas touch various industries, including chemical processing, industrial manufacturing, heavy equipment, electronic brokerages, electronic gaming/wagering, and consumer goods. While his tracked district court experience includes defending Sonos, Inc. in Sonos, Inc. v. Implicit, LLC, his overall practice demonstrates a balanced approach across different client roles.

Notable PTAB successes include securing judgment for patent owner Caavo in interferences concerning audio-video switching devices and achieving successful settlements for patent owner CG Technology in IPR challenges related to computer gaming/wagering systems. He also represented petitioner Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Inc. in IPRs that successfully resolved parallel district court litigation involving electronic brokerage exchanges. McAnulty is also a prolific author on PTAB-related topics, including articles on proving "prior art" and updates on patent trials.
