Dorian Ojemen

Dorian advises clients from the first demand letter through hearing and resolution. He evaluates infringement allegations, ownership and licensing rights, and the business consequences of litigation decisions, and he helps clients decide when to litigate, negotiate, or resolve a dispute early. He has argued disputed claim terms, taken and defended depositions, prepared fact and expert witnesses, and written the principal briefs in district court, International Trade Commission, and arbitration proceedings. He also counsels companies responding to third-party subpoenas in patent cases.

Dorian also brings experience in data privacy and cybersecurity. He has managed responses to data breaches and ransomware attacks, handled breach notifications, and conducted privacy diligence reviews. That experience informs his trade secret and technology work, where disputes often turn on how a company protects its confidential information and data.
