James is an IP litigator focusing on patent and trade-secret disputes, particularly fast-moving TRO/PI litigation. He has handled more than twenty trade-secret matters, including seven litigations, numerous investigations, and a variety of advisory/consulting work. He has also handled patent trials in the Eastern District of Texas, the Eastern District of Virginia, and the International Trade Commission.

James’s work for defendants includes defeating motions for preliminary injunctive relief in two trade-secret litigations, both of which resolved shortly thereafter. He also helped a bench-trial team achieve a complete victory by conducting the direct examination of one of the client’s key experts and cross-examining one of the opposing party’s experts.

James’s work for plaintiffs includes securing a temporary restraining order to prevent the defendant from further trade-secret misappropriation. He also led a team in a high-profile case involving pharmaceutical trade secrets through expert discovery before the case reached a negotiated resolution.
