Tuhin Ganguly

Tuhin Ganguly is a patent litigation partner at Desmarais LLP, focusing on complex, technology-driven disputes in both district courts and before the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). His practice encompasses a wide range of technologies, including digital imaging, integrated circuits, LED technologies, consumer electronics, warehouse automation and robotics, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals. Leveraging a background in molecular biology and protein biochemistry, he brings a deep understanding to life sciences and other high-tech matters.

Mr. Ganguly has extensive experience representing both complainants and respondents in patent infringement actions. His tracked cases include appearances on both the plaintiff and defendant sides, with a slight emphasis on defense in the listed matters. In his broader practice, he has successfully represented both patent holders seeking to enforce their intellectual property and companies defending against infringement allegations in over 20 ITC investigations.

Before joining Desmarais LLP in mid-2020 to help launch its Washington, D.C. office, Mr. Ganguly was a partner at Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP and an associate at Bingham McCutchen LLP. His notable case outcomes include securing a rare general exclusion order for Fraen Corporation in an ITC investigation involving LED lighting, and a finding of no violation for Winplus North America in an ITC case concerning portable lithium-ion battery jump starters. He was also part of the Desmarais team that achieved a complete victory for Sun Pharmaceutical Industries against Biofrontera in an ITC investigation related to photodynamic therapy medical devices, upholding Sun Pharma's patent rights. Additionally, Mr. Ganguly contributed to a team that secured a $44.9 million jury verdict for IBM against Zynga Inc. for interactive services patent infringement, and an ITC win for OPEX Corporation in warehouse robotics technology, which was affirmed by the Federal Circuit.

While his primary focus is on ITC and district court litigation, Mr. Ganguly's firm, Desmarais LLP, maintains a Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) practice, and he is familiar with the interplay between ITC and PTAB proceedings. He is admitted to the State Bars of California and Washington, D.C., and is registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. He earned his J.D. and a B.A. in biology from Washington University.
