Firm overview
Ashby & Geddes: Patent Litigation Summary
Ashby & Geddes is a Delaware-based litigation firm with a well-regarded intellectual property practice that primarily serves as local counsel in complex patent disputes. Headquartered in Wilmington, the firm is recognized by Chambers and Partners for its expertise in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, a leading venue for patent litigation. While not a large "BigLaw" firm, Ashby & Geddes is considered a top choice in Delaware for its specialized litigation services, particularly in IP, bankruptcy, and corporate chancery matters.
The firm’s patent litigation practice is diverse, handling cases across a wide spectrum of technologies including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, telecommunications, consumer electronics, computer hardware and software, and medical devices. Ashby & Geddes is structured to represent clients on either the plaintiff or defense side of a dispute. The provided case data shows the firm acting as local counsel for the defendant in Greenthread Ltd v. Monolithic Power Systems Inc. Public profiles confirm the firm is frequently engaged by prominent national IP firms to serve as Delaware counsel for large corporate clients in both prosecution and defense roles.
The firm's reputation is built on its deep experience with the Delaware courts and judiciary. Although specific trial outcomes are not detailed in public sources, Chambers & Partners notes the firm's role in significant patent cases for clients such as Idenix Pharmaceuticals, Fairchild Semiconductor, and BlackBerry. There is no readily available information to suggest a significant focus on filing or defending against inter partes review (IPR) petitions before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB).
Several partners are consistently recognized for their IP litigation work. John G. Day, counsel in the tracked Greenthread case, is highlighted by Chambers as a "fantastic lawyer with good judgment" and extensive experience in patent infringement and licensing disputes. Other key partners in the practice group include Steven J. Balick, who chairs the IP group, Andrew C. Mayo, and Brian A. Biggs, all of whom are recognized by legal directories for their work in complex patent litigation.
