PRACTICE

Intellectual Property Litigation

BIOGRAPHY

Andrew Robb is an associate in the Palo Alto office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.  He practices in the firm’s Litigation department, with a focus on patent and other technology-based disputes.  He has litigated numerous cases in a variety of forums, including the International Trade Commission, federal district court, and California state court.  Representative technologies Mr. Robb has litigated include digital signal processing, network architecture, cloud security and failure analysis, mobile communications, chip design, wireless networking, and power management, among others.

Representative Matters:

  • Represented a fitness and technology company in an ITC investigation brought by a competitor alleging patent infringement and theft of trade secrets.  Following a six-day hearing, the administrative law judge issued a written decision rejecting every one of the competitor’s claims.
  • Represented that same fitness and technology company in another ITC investigation brought by another entity, alleging patent infringement.  Following a multi-day hearing, the administrative law judge issued a written decision rejecting all of the Complainant’s remaining claims.
  • Represented a telecommunications company in patent dispute in the Eastern District of Texas brought by competitor relating to SEPs.  Case settled favorably a few days before trial.
  • Represented a leading technological company in multi-billion dollar bid protest, with primary responsibility for developing and briefing core technical arguments.  The government ultimately cancelled the contract, after multiple rulings by court in favor of the client.
  • Represented a leading consumer device company in forensic accounting matter.  Independently discovered and developed core accounting argument, which wiped out $41 million claim by other party and had been missed by all prior law firms and experts for both parties, and which opposing counsel later described as “magic.”  The case settled favorably hours before trial.
  • Represented a technological company in criminal investigation relating to purported theft of trade secrets, with a favorable outcome for the client.
  • Represents a ride-sharing company in multiple patent cases involving location, network infrastructure, and transportation-related technologies.
  • Represents a leading consumer device company in misappropriation of trade secrets matter brought against a former employee.

Mr. Robb is a member of the firm’s pro bono committee, and he maintains an active pro bono docket.  Previously, Mr. Robb successfully obtained vacatur and remand for a Veteran in an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, and he successfully obtained a five-year restraining order, the statutory maximum, on behalf of a young mother who had received a series of death threats from her former partner.

Mr. Robb clerked for the Honorable Timothy B. Dyk of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.  Mr. Robb graduated with honors from the University of Chicago Law School in 2013, where he was a member of the University of Chicago Law Review.  He graduated from Claremont McKenna College in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in computer science.  Mr. Robb is admitted to practice in the State of California, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the Northern District of California, and the Eastern District of Texas.
