Nathan Curtis is an associate in the Dallas office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. He practices in the firm’s Litigation Department in the Intellectual Property Practice Group. Prior to joining Gibson Dunn, Mr. Curtis served as a law clerk to the Honorable Timothy B. Dyk of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

Mr. Curtis has litigated numerous complex intellectual property cases in a wide range of technological fields, including computer architecture, telecommunications networking, 802.11 WLAN standards, medical devices, audio compression technology, semiconductors, and steel manufacturing. Mr. Curtis also has experience in Lanham Act litigation and complex commercial litigation. In addition to litigation, Mr. Curtis has worked on several patent review proceedings at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, including both inter partes review and reexamination proceedings.

Representative Matters

  • Representing the world’s leading data storage provider against a non-practicing entity in patent litigation in D. Mass., as well as in three concurrent inter partes review proceedings.  The case was successfully stayed in light of the pending inter partes review proceedings.
  • Represented Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal in a multi-patent and unfair competition case in D.N.J. involving processes for manufacturing electrical steel.  The case involved co-pending reexamination proceedings at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office and related litigation in Japan and Korea, which included claims for trade secret misappropriation.
  • Represented plaintiffs Sanofi Aventis in Hatch-Waxman lawsuits filed in D. Del. concerning Section 505(b)(2) applications for diabetes treatments.  The litigation settled favorably on the eve of trial.
  • Represented Cablevision in defending against multiple lawsuits related to cable networking and distribution.

In addition, Mr. Curtis represents a disabled veteran before the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims on a pro bono basis in a claim for service-connected disability benefits.

Mr. Curtis earned his Juris Doctor summa cum laude from the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University. While attending law school, he served as Editor-in-Chief of the Brigham Young University Law Review and published multiple articles in the Law Review. Prior to law school, he graduated magna cum laude and received a Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics, with minors in Mathematics and Spanish, from Brigham Young University. Mr. Curtis has received several notable awards. During law school, he was the recipient of the J. Reuben Clark Award for exemplifying academic excellence, integrity, high ethical standards, and service. He was also elected to the Order of the Coif. Following law school, he was recognized for obtaining the second highest score on the July 2011 Texas Bar Exam.
