Overview

Evan Jones focuses his practice on patent and trade secret litigation. Utilizing his deep technical background, Evan represents leaders in the pharmaceutical and electronics industries in high-stakes patent disputes.

Evan represents clients in district court and before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). His litigation experience includes pre-lawsuit investigations, discovery, motion practice, validity and invalidity responses, freedom-to-operate analyses, and claim construction.
