• Inter Partes Review in the United States Patent and Trademark Office – Gibson Dunn represents a leading medical device manufacturer in a dispute with a direct competitor regarding surgical tools for joint replacement procedures.  Mr. Rosenberg argued before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board in an IPR proceeding, seeking cancellation of a patent asserted by the opposing party in litigation.
