About Daniel
Daniel Tishman is a trial lawyer and trusted advisor to clients, focusing his practice on complex patent litigation in federal district courts and before the International Trade Commission. He has represented and provided strategic counseling to clients (both plaintiffs and defendants) in the battery, consumer electronics, chemical, semiconductor, and automotive industries. Dan’s broad patent litigation experience includes all phases of cases, from pre-suit investigation through trial (having appeared in nearly a dozen trials) and appeals.
In addition to his patent litigation practice, Dan dedicates time to pro bono matters, including workplace discrimination and immigration cases. He recently tried a pro bono workplace discrimination case to verdict, following a successful appeal to the Fourth Circuit (leading to reversal of the trial court’s dismissal of the claims and making new law) and a petition for certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States (leaving the Fourth Circuit’s decision undisturbed), achieving a significant victory for the firm’s client in coordination with the Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs.
From 2011-2013, Dan served as a judicial clerk for the Honorable Yvette Kane of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. Dan is active in the International Trade Commission Trial Lawyers Associate (ITC TLA) where he is a member of the Executive Committee.
