Description: Ali Tehrani is an intellectual property counsel in Crowell & Moring's Washington, D.C. office. His practice focuses on IP litigation in district court cases, at the appellate level before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, in post-grant proceedings at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and in International Trade Commission (ITC) proceedings. Ali has successfully represented and counseled numerous clients in high-stakes IP disputes. He and a team of Crowell lawyers represent MRSI Systems, LLC and recently won the first-ever bench trial on the issue of IPR estoppel, held before Chief Judge Saylor of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. After winning the bench trial, the team secured a case dispositive summary judgment of invalidity against the sole asserted patent, which Chief Judge Saylor held to be directed to a patent-ineligible abstract idea.
