William Findlay

I'll research William Findlay's professional background and patent litigation practice.

Let me search for more authoritative sources on William D. Findlay's practice.

Let me search for more authoritative sources — Justia profiles, court records, and Desmarais firm pages.

Specialty / focus areas. William D. Findlay is a litigation counsel at Desmarais LLP, the New York–founded IP trial boutique. A third-party litigation analytics profile shows a technology profile concentrated in software and computer architecture/security, with additional matters in communications, semiconductor/optics, and transportation/e-commerce — consistent with Desmarais's broader docket of high-stakes district court and ITC patent disputes. The one case tracked for this attorney is untitled in the record, so no specific technology or caption can be confirmed from the authoritative list.

Side preference. The tracked data shows a single appearance, on the plaintiff side (1 plaintiff, 0 defendant), in the role of counsel. That limited sample does not establish a durable side preference; the analytics profile indicates PTAB appearances both as patent owner and as challenger, suggesting the attorney has worked both sides of the docket within a firm that represents both complainants and respondents.

Firm context and notable outcomes. Findlay's current firm is Desmarais LLP. Publicly available profiles confirm the Desmarais association but do not identify any named case, verdict, Federal Circuit appeal, or settlement attributable to him, and I found no independently verified prior-firm history (aggregator listings suggest a prior patent-agent role and a Seton Hall J.D., but those sources are not reliable enough to state as fact). His one tracked matter is unnamed, so no prominent case can be called out.

PTAB / IPR experience. The analytics profile reflects multiple PTAB/IPR appearances between roughly 2015 and 2020, in both patent-owner and challenger roles, so IPR practice appears to be a meaningful part of his work. Bar / education. Not reliably sourced from court or firm pages; omitted.
