Overview

Taylor Burgener represents clients in complex intellectual property litigation across industries ranging from the life sciences to software, electrical engineering, and more.  

Taylor has extensive experience handling patent disputes in district court and at the International Trade Commission. Her technical experience spans a wide variety of technologies, including pharmaceuticals, medical devices in consumer wearables, telecommunication systems, software, electrical and computer technology, and lithium-ion batteries. She has also worked on non-technical issues, including damages and licensing analyses and economic domestic industry. 

Taylor worked as a quality control associate at a diagnostic laboratory prior to attending law school, and she brings her scientific background — and a strong intellectual curiosity — to every case team she’s a part of. She’s particularly adept at quickly getting up to speed with technologies across diverse industries, and at serving as an organized, detail-oriented point of contact for clients, ensuring they stay up to date on developments in their case.

A former Division 1 athlete, Taylor likes to stay active during her free time through functional fitness, yoga, and — most challenging of all — keeping up with her equally active son and daughter.
