Mark is an agile litigator experienced with all stages of the case, from threat assessment and pre-filing diligence through verdict and post-trial motion practice. He represents plaintiffs and defendants in courts across the country in high-stakes intellectual property and business disputes involving complex technologies, including security software, asset tracking systems, augmented reality military target acquisition systems, AI cameras and sensors, and oncolytic viruses.
Mark obtains decisive results for his clients through targeted discovery and motion practice. In a recent billion-dollar technology licensing dispute, Mark and his team excluded four witnesses from offering expert opinions and prevailed on a cross-motion for summary judgment regarding whether an oncolytic viral drug used his client's patented invention. The trial court granted summary judgment in Mark's client's favor and, from the bench, read into the record withering admissions from the opposing party's technical expert that Mark pried loose in deposition.
At trial, Mark and his team have secured complete defense verdicts against claims for hundreds of millions or billions of dollars in damages.
Mark's pro bono practice focuses on protecting the constitutional and civil rights of individuals and classes of disabled prisoners. Mark leverages his civil litigation skills to achieve significant systemic reforms and improve the conditions of confinement for this particularly vulnerable population.
Prior to joining King & Spalding, Mark served as a law clerk to the Honorable Philip A. Brimmer of the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. During law school, Mark worked as a patent litigation intern at Google Inc. He also served as a senior articles editor for the Berkeley Technology Law Journal.
Before practicing law, Mark served as an infantry officer in the United States Army. His military assignments include leading a light infantry rifle platoon during a year-long deployment to a fiercely contested region in eastern Afghanistan. Mark's experience planning complex, multi-phase operations and then effectively communicating those plans to his platoon before leading them on combat missions honed the advocacy skills he deploys every day in his practice.
