Specialty & background

William B. Raich, Ph.D., is a patent litigation partner at Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, focusing his practice on complex patent disputes in district courts, arbitrations, and before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). Leveraging a doctorate in cellular and molecular biology, Dr. Raich specializes in intellectual property matters related to biologics, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostics, and DNA sequencing. His experience includes litigation under the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCIA) and Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) cases.

Dr. Raich primarily represents innovative companies, working both on the plaintiff and defendant sides of patent disputes. While tracked appearances show he has acted as lead counsel for defendants in two cases (Uniloc USA, Inc. et al. v. Kaspersky Lab, Inc. and Bicara Therapeutics Inc v. Johns Hopkins University) and for a plaintiff in one (Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd.), his broader practice emphasizes representing patent owners in enforcing their intellectual property and defending their market positions.

A notable outcome in his career includes co-leading the trial team for Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. against Nippon Shinyaku Co., Ltd., which resulted in a federal jury awarding Sarepta over $115 million in lost profit damages for patent infringement in December 2024. He also possesses substantial experience with PTAB proceedings, frequently appearing as lead counsel in Inter Partes Review (IPR) and Post-Grant Review (PGR) cases, including representing Eli Lilly as a petitioner in an IPR and successfully representing a patent owner in a PGR related to Skyrizi®.

Dr. Raich earned his Ph.D. in cellular and molecular biology and his J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center in 2007, subsequently being admitted to the Washington D.C. bar in 2008. He previously clerked for the Honorable Randall R. Rader and the Honorable Jimmie V. Reyna at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
