Gary Levin has more than 35 years of experience in patent litigation and counseling and has been involved in dozens of complex patent cases in courts around the country. He has extensive experience in patent cases in the federal courts and in contested proceedings at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in all aspects of pre-trial, trial and appellate work, as well as in alternative dispute resolution.
Gary's cases have covered such technologies as chemical processing, pharmaceutical and agricultural products, complex medical devices, diagnostic systems, computer database configuration and wireless telecommunication technology. One of his significant cases was Eli Lilly & Co. v. Medtronic, 872 F.2d 402 (Fed. Cir. 1989), in which the Federal Circuit, later affirmed by the Supreme Court, established a defense to infringement for the testing of medical devices to obtain FDA approval.
Gary gets deeply involved from the outset in any litigation he leads so his clients, with many of which he has long-term relationships, can trust that he is always current on the case details and can address strategy and answer questions as the litigation proceeds.
Prior to entering private practice, Gary served for eight years as in-house patent counsel at DuPont, focusing on polymer-based coating products, agricultural chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Presently, Gary is an adjunct professor at Drexel University Kline School of Law teaching patent law and co-teaching a course in appellate advocacy.
