Resnick & Louis

Resnick & Louis, P.C. is a mid-sized law firm with a substantial coast-to-coast presence across more than 30 offices in various U.S. states, including Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, New York, and Texas, alongside an office in London, UK. The firm operates as a national institutional and insurance defense law firm, employing over 200 attorneys. While widely recognized for its robust defense practice, particularly in areas like insurance defense, commercial litigation, and construction litigation, no general AmLaw or Chambers ranking for the firm as a whole has been reliably sourced.

The firm maintains an Intellectual Property practice, specifically listing "Patent and Trademark" as a dedicated area. Within its IP practice, the firm handles matters involving copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, and counsels on technology-focused agreements, including SaaS, MSAs, and IP licenses. The firm's IP litigation experience includes protecting and enforcing clients' intellectual property assets.

In the firm's tracked patent litigation appearances, Resnick & Louis has exclusively represented plaintiffs, with two such instances recorded and no defendant-side patent litigation matters. This is evidenced by cases such as Sampo IP, LLC v. Intuit where the firm acted as counsel for the plaintiff. While the firm's broader practice explicitly states it often does not accept certain plaintiff/claimant matters due to its defense focus, its patent litigation engagements show a plaintiff-side orientation based on available data.

Specific outcomes for the tracked patent cases, including Sampo IP, LLC v. Intuit, such as verdicts, Federal Circuit appeals, or publicly verified settlements, are not detailed in the available information. The firm's public profile highlights successful outcomes in general IP disputes, with Partner Richard J. Placido noted for securing favorable results in copyright, trademark, and trade secret disputes. Information regarding Resnick & Louis's involvement in PTAB (Patent Trial and Appeal Board) or IPR (Inter Partes Review) proceedings is not readily available.

Key attorneys associated with the firm's IP practice include Partners Katherine L. Stahl, Thomas Oglesby, and Richard J. Placido. Additionally, Mitchell J. Resnick, President and Co-Founding Shareholder, has experience in intellectual property litigation. Christopher M. McShane, listed as a top attorney in the firm's tracked appearances, is a Partner whose extensive experience primarily covers complex civil litigation, workers' compensation, and insurance defense.
