In that role, she supported complex patent matters in federal district courts, including patent-centric forums such as the Eastern and Western Districts of Texas, as well as before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and International Trade Commission (ITC), across a range of technical areas, such as cellular and wireless communications, semiconductors, computer software, network security, automotive powertrain technology, and mobile payment systems. Marta’s experience spans multiple phases of IP litigation, from pre-suit investigations through trial preparation, including work leading up to the eve of trial.
