Megan is experienced in all areas of patent law, including complex patent litigation, post-grant trials such as inter partes reviews, as well as patent prosecution and counseling. In federal courts across the country and at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Megan litigates patent disputes and prosecutes patents relating to a diverse range of technologies including telecommunications, cellular, software, financial services, power generation and coal facilities, medical devices and health care, and online social networking and dating services.

Megan's litigation experience includes complex, multi-patent infringement lawsuits, competitor cases, defending against non-practicing entities, and defending and counter-suing false advertising claims.

From initial pleadings, to summary judgement, and through trial, Megan has experience handling and efficiently managing all phases of a case.
