Leading lawyers
Paul focuses on Section 337 litigation before the U.S. International Trade Commission. His work for plaintiffs has led to orders excluding competitors’ products from the United States and high-value settlements and license agreements, and he has a near-perfect track record of wins following trial on the defensive side. Paul also works with Customs and Border Protection.
