Rubino Law / Rubino IP

Rubino IP is a specialized intellectual property boutique with offices in New Jersey and New York, focusing primarily on patent litigation. The firm does not appear in top-tier AmLaw or Chambers rankings, suggesting a smaller, highly focused practice. Founded by John A. Rubino, the firm emphasizes a technically informed approach to complex patent disputes.

The firm's patent litigation practice spans a range of high-technology sectors, including telecommunications, consumer electronics, semiconductor manufacturing and applications, electromechanical storage devices, server design, routing, and multiplexing. While the firm's single tracked appearance indicates representation on the defendant side, Rubino IP's public profile highlights significant experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants. The firm's website features numerous instances of successfully representing patent owners in enforcement actions.

Notable engagements by Rubino IP include representing AutoBrilliance, LLC in technology related to car sensors and self-driving against defendants such as Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. and Honda Motor Company, Ltd. The firm also represented Elite Gaming Tech LLC in matters concerning display orientation and electromechanical storage, and Lonestar Biometrics LLC in fingerprint scanning technology against companies like Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. Additionally, John A.
