Brad Lane is a seasoned litigator who works with clients to understand and identify their big-picture objectives and think forward to the best way to achieve them.  Brad is hands-on at every stage of the litigation process, from pleadings, through written discovery and depositions, to motion practice, to trials and appeals.  Brad also understands that litigation makes business sense in some cases, but may not be the answer to every problem, and therefore consults with his clients on alternatives available in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, from Patent Trial and Appeal Board trials to ex parte reexaminations, as well as alternative dispute resolution mechanisms such as mediations and/or arbitrations.
