Sean D. Damon concentrates his practice on intellectual property litigation, representing clients in all aspects of offensive and defensive litigation matters. He focuses on high-stakes, high-technology patent litigation such as computer hardware/architecture, software, communication networks, signal processing, and content management systems.

Sean’s litigation experience encompasses multiple stages of the litigation process, including management of complex document review; preparing trial examination and cross examination; and drafting pre-trial motions, and pre- and post-trial briefs. He has appeared before U.S. district courts, the Court of Federal Claims, U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”), and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, as well as the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

His PTAB experience includes representing both petitioners and patent owners. Sean worked on the first ever post-grant review of a covered business method patent petitioned by a government agency, which went before the Supreme Court of the United States.

Prior to joining the firm, Sean served as patent litigation associate at a business litigation firm. He also previously worked at a leading defense contracting company as a system architect. His work involved designing and developing system architectures, primarily focusing on signal processing and sensing technology, and also helped develop the company’s open-source software policy.

Outside the Firm

Sean enjoys being a girl dad, which allows him to blame his love for fashion, fragrances, and shopping on his girls.
