• Dana L. Anderson litigates complex intellectual property matters, including patent and trademark litigation, in district courts and at the International Trade Commission. Dana works with clients across a range of technology sectors, including semiconductors, telecommunications, cybersecurity, and computer hardware and networking. She has assisted in patent litigation at every stage, including as a trial team member, performing patent infringement analyses, and drafting dispositive motions and trial briefs.
