David, a registered patent attorney, represents individuals, companies, and nationwide classes in high-stakes commercial disputes. Earlier this year, David led the team that twice defeated Apple in the Southern District of Florida (first, on summary judgment with respect to all of Apple's copyright claims, and then again when Apple withdrew its remaining claims days before trial).
David was also ranked as one of the world's leading patent practitioners in the 2020 and 2021 editions of IAM Patent 1000. His clients, interviewed for that publication, described that he“has a brilliant legal mind and a passion for the law along with free-flowing writing skills.” “He gives personal attention to his clients and their cases, is extremely patient, excellent at communication and brilliant on strategy.”

She successfully argued the opposition to the bank's motion to dismiss, which was denied in early 2021.
