Valerie F. McCleary

I'll research this attorney and the tracked case before drafting.

Note on sourcing: My web searches returned no verifiable profile, firm bio page, or court opinion naming Valerie F. McCleary, and the tracked case itself (Baby Jogger, LLC v. Baby Generation, Inc. d/b/a Mockingbird) did not surface in search results. The summary below is therefore limited largely to the authoritative case data provided; anything I could not verify is flagged as such rather than filled in.

Specialty / focus areas. The tracked appearance is a mechanical/consumer-products patent matter: Baby Jogger, LLC v. Baby Generation, Inc. d/b/a Mockingbird, a juvenile-products (stroller) patent dispute. That is the sole data point on technology focus, and one case is not enough to establish a practice pattern. Her firm, RatnerPrestia, is a well-known IP boutique with a broad patent prosecution and litigation practice (its published client updates have addressed topics ranging from KSR v. Teleflex obviousness to Broadcom v. Qualcomm opinions-of-counsel), but I found no source tying McCleary personally to any specific technology area such as Wi-Fi standards, pharma, software, or mechanical arts beyond this one case. No inference beyond the case record is warranted.

Side preference. On the single tracked appearance she is on the plaintiff side (1 plaintiff, 0 defendant), serving as local counsel rather than lead or trial counsel. A one-case sample supports no conclusion about whether she generally represents patent owners/asserting entities or accused infringers; the plaintiff count here reflects a single matter, not an established NPE/PAE practice.

Firm context. Her current and only tracked firm is RatnerPrestia. I could not verify prior firm history, in-house roles, or dates of association through search.

Notable cases or outcomes. The only tracked matter is Baby Jogger, LLC v. Baby Generation, Inc. d/b/a Mockingbird, in which she appears as local counsel for plaintiff Baby Jogger. I was unable to locate a public record of the docket, any verdict, settlement, or appeal to report an outcome; no result should be attributed to this case without confirmation.

PTAB / IPR experience. No IPR, PGR, or other PTAB filings attributable to her appeared in search, and the case data contains none. I cannot characterize her PTAB experience.

Bar / education. Not reliably sourced. I found no bar-admission record, law school, or undergraduate institution for this attorney, so I have omitted those details. Given the absence of any distinguishing identifying information online, there is also a possibility of a name-matching issue or a low public profile; verifying identity and credentials against Pennsylvania bar records and the firm's current attorney roster would be the appropriate next step before relying on this profile.
