David A. Mancino

Experience

• Served as technical lead during trial in a patent infringement action before the International Trade Commission, during which BakerHostetler's client ultimately prevailed. Prepared all technical issues and handled the technical witnesses throughout the ITC investigation involving three patents related to computer forensic devices. 
• In a patent litigation in the Northern District of Illinois involving database query technologies, successfully briefed and argued that an asserted American Express patent was invalid as failing to meet the "written description" requirement under U.S. patent law.
• Successfully defeated at the preliminary response stage three of four CBM petitions filed against BakerHostetler clients in 2015.
• In a patent litigation trial in the Eastern District of Texas involving DVD recorder products of a Japanese consumer electronics corporation, handled all technical issues and technical witnesses during the litigation and trial. Following trial, the parties reached a settlement highly favorable to BakerHostetler's client. 
• Prepared and prosecuted a family of patents for a high-speed digital printing company, patents that have been successfully licensed to most of the digital printing industry, and the company has also survived several patent litigations without any successful challenge to the validity and scope of the patents. 
• Negotiated the IP and data licensing agreements in a joint venture between a European market research company and a major U.S. retail corporation in 2003. The agreements lasted throughout the duration of the companies' highly successful joint venture due to Dave's understanding of the issues and technologies involved.
