Denise De Mory is the Managing Partner of Bunsow De Mory and has litigated patent and other intellectual property cases for over twenty years. She has repeatedly been named one of California’s “Top Women Litigators” by The Daily Journal. Denise has significant trial experience, including a patent trial that resulted in a $61 million verdict for her client. She was also a member of the United States Department of Justice’s trial team, in the U.S. v. Microsoft antitrust litigation. Denise deposed executive-level Microsoft witnesses and the chief architect of Internet Explorer, and offered one of the government’s technical experts at trial.
It is Denise’s firm understanding of what matters at trial and what it takes to effectively communicate to a judge and to a jury that enables her to develop and pursue successful strategies to achieve her clients’ goals and objectives.
Denise enjoys traveling with her family, is a certified sewing instructor with a passion for costume design and construction, and takes math classes (for fun!) in her spare time.
