Allison Altersohn focuses on complex patent litigation across technologies ranging from networking and telecommunications to computer systems, electronic devices and digital imaging. As a partner in our Intellectual Property, Patent, Trademark and Copyright Litigation practice, Allison represents clients in a broad range of technology and patent litigation.
Allison is experienced in all stages of litigation, and frequently takes a lead role in coordinating joint defenses in multi-defendant cases. With an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering, she brings an understanding of engineering and technology to the issues faced by her clients.
For technology companies such as Nokia, Alcatel-Lucent, Avon, Comcast and Google, Allison advises on evaluating large patent portfolios, developing strategies for patent licensing negotiations, and establishing IP policies as standard business procedures.
