Philip Chen advocates forclients in complex intellectual property litigation involving small-molecule pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, and biotechnology, among other life sciences innovations.
Before beginning his career in law, Philip worked in translational research at a university. He now applies that same scientific curiosity and solutions-oriented mindset to devising and carrying out strong litigation strategies for his clients, whether in the life sciences or in other technology sectors, and his background also enables him to communicate fluently on technical issues with engineers, scientists, and experts.
Philip’s notable achievements have included playing a key role in securing a win in a five-patent Hatch-Waxman trial for a pharmaceutical client. Additionally, he served on a trial team that secured an International Trade Commission (ITC) victory on appeal for a leading provider of robotic surgical systems. Philip has also worked on matters pertaining to copyright and trade secret litigation. From pre-suit diligence through litigation, he excels in case assessment, electronic document collection and production, fact and expert discovery, settlement strategy, trials, and appeals. While Philip focuses his practice in U.S. District Courts and has appeared in many across the country, he also has experience in handling ITC investigations and post-grant proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Outside of his work for IP clients, Philip dedicates significant time to his pro bono practice, in which he collaborates with Kids in Need of Defense and PAIR to represent clients in immigration and asylum matters.
