"Right now we are watching the Halo Decision's effects on treble damages, which allow courts to triple the amount of damages awarded to a plaintiff. We are also utilizing and assisting our clients with a number of critical PTAB decisions with respect to key IPR and PGR issues. Finally, a number of ongoing interpretations of what constitutes infringement (e.g., singular component versus multi-component incorporation outside of the United States), obviousness, patent subject matter eligibility and the like are always important to our clients from both offensive and defensive viewpoints."

With over 20 years dedicated to law, Mr. Groetken brings a wealth of knowledge to his industry and, in particular, to his area of specialization, patent law and litigation. When asked about his decision to pursue a career in this specialty, Mr. Groetken said:
