Hagens Berman Names Phil Graves as New Intellectual Property Group Leader


Class-action and large-scale litigation firm, Hagens Berman, today announced its new intellectual property practice group leader, Philip Graves, a nationally recognized patent and IP litigation attorney.

Graves, who joined the firm in November 2014, has taken on the new role at Hagens Berman, bolstering the firm's IP group in representing inventors and other patent owners against major corporations.

"This represents an exciting time for our IP group as we continue to grow our resources to fight for our clients - universities, small companies and individual inventors bringing infringement claims," said Steve Berman, managing partner of Hagens Berman.

Graves' more than 20 years of practice have been dedicated to representing clients, from solo inventors to Fortune 100 technology companies, in patent cases spanning a broad range of technologies.

"It is a privilege to be able to work every day with such dedicated and effective lawyers. Hagens Berman lawyers are relentlesly focused on producing the highest-quality work in pursuit of justice for inventors and other patent owners whose inventions are being used without permission by corporate America," Graves added.



Hagens Berman's IP team represents intellectual property owners against corporate America in high-stakes litigation. The firm specializes in complex cases with significant damages. Our clients include inventors, universities and companies with valuable intellectual property rights in a wide range of technologies and industries.

Graves has represented inventors and technology companies in patent cases involving surgical lasers and other medical devices, online postage generation and delivery, network security, web-hosting, image capture, digital signature and encryption technologies, nano-scale manufacturing and biotech, among many other technical fields. As lead trial counsel, he has obtained a string of victories for his clients, including a jury verdict in favor of one of his clients avoiding more than $30 million in damages. He also has experience in cases involving misappropriation of trade secrets, trademark infringement, copyright infringement and unfair competition, as well as antitrust and business litigation.


Hagens Berman is a nationally recognized plaintiffs firm, representing consumers, inventors, whistleblowers and others in complex litigation against some of the world's largest corporate entities. Our focus on plaintiffs reinforces our IP practice and enables us to move more quickly than other firms in reviewing claims and filing suit in an intellectual property case.

The firm currently has patent lawsuits on file in numerous jurisdictions against some of the largest technology giants in the world, including Alcon, Oracle (News - Alert), Apple, Nintendo, Salesforce, LG and Samsung.

Hagens Berman is headquartered in Seattle, with additional offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Colorado Springs, Chicago, New York, Washington D.C., Boston, Phoenix and our newest office in San Diego.
