Brad Graveline is a partner in the Intellectual Property and Litigation Practice Groups in the firm's Chicago office.
Brad has more than 25 years of experience litigating patent infringement cases, trademark disputes, cases involving theft of trade secrets, and other commercial matters. His patent infringement experience involves a variety of technologies, including pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, nutrition supplements, security screening systems, software, and wireless communications.
Brad led the trial team that secured a key patent victory for SecurityPoint, the company that invented the system of recycling trays through security screening checkpoints by use of movable carts that TSA uses in commercial airports throughout the United States. After an 8-day trial, the United States Court of Federal Claims concluded that SecurityPoint’s patent is valid and infringed by TSA. The court held that the government failed to prove that any of the asserted claims would have been obvious, the testimony of the government’s key expert “smack[ed] of hindsight”, and “the balance of the evidence regarding the objective indicia of non-obviousness weigh[ed] strongly in favor of” SecurityPoint.
Brad has substantial expertise in Hatch-Waxman litigation and has represented pharmaceutical companies in over twenty-five ANDA cases. He frequently represents highly visible clients in high-stakes ANDA cases and has served as lead trial and appeal counsel in numerous cases.
In addition to intellectual property litigation experience, Brad has worked on a wide array of other commercial cases in the areas of professional responsibility, breach of contract, product liability, securities, antitrust, and class action defense.
Brad also manages a trademark prosecution team that handles the global protection and enforcement of trademark portfolios, and he counsels clients in the strategy and procurement of trademark rights. He is a qualified mediator in the Northern District of Illinois Lanham Act Mediation Program.
Brad has represented Alembic Pharmaceuticals; Abon Pharmaceuticals; Incepta Pharmaceuticals; Barr Laboratories; Teva Pharmaceuticals; Symbiotec Pharmalab; Sun Pharmaceuticals; Macleods Pharmaceuticals; SillaJen; Essentra; Chemo Group; Everett Laboratories; Stryker; Abbott Laboratories; Moffat & Co.; HD Buttercup; SecurityPoint Holdings, Inc.; HTC; MacLean Power Systems; Morningstar; Nuveen; and General Electric Co.
