BC Law Group

BC Law Group, P.C. is a New York-headquartered intellectual property litigation boutique that focuses on high-value patent enforcement. The firm, whose founders previously practiced at a prominent trial firm, emphasizes providing high-quality representation without the overhead of traditional law firms and frequently operates on contingency fee structures. While a relatively specialized firm, it handles cases across the United States. No specific AmLaw or Chambers rankings for this firm were reliably sourced, though Super Lawyers notes one attorney from the New York office has been selected.

The firm's patent litigation practice spans a diverse array of technologies, including mobile devices, display technology, digital advertising, wireless charging, building automation, consumer electronics, telecommunications, and camera and digital image processing. BC Law Group primarily represents patent owners and plaintiffs in litigation to protect and monetize intellectual property, as indicated by three of its four tracked appearances being on the plaintiff side. The firm also undertakes defendant-side work, with one tracked appearance in defense.

BC Law Group's attorneys have been involved in cases resulting in significant outcomes, including over $2 billion in recovery through verdicts, judgments, and settlements. Notable results include an $11.5 million damages verdict related to wireless communications in building automation and a $122 million verdict in a digital advertising dispute. In Headwater Research LLC v. T-Mobile USA, Inc. et al., a case involving mobile device patents, the plaintiff's claims were dismissed with prejudice. Conversely, in Phenix Longhorn, LLC v. AU Optronics Corporation et al., the jury found in favor of the defendant, AU Optronics Corporation, declaring no infringement and one asserted patent invalid. The firm also has an active Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) practice, with partners successfully defending against the institution of post-grant review petitions.

Key partners leading the firm's patent litigation efforts include Managing Partner Brett E. Cooper, who has over 20 years of experience in complex litigation across various forums including the PTAB and Federal Circuit. Other prominent partners are Amy Elizabeth Hayden, known for securing significant verdicts for patent owners and her expertise in chemistry, and Drew B. Hollander, a founding partner with a track record in complex commercial litigation. Jonathan R. Yim is also a recognized partner within the practice.
