Anita Spieth, co-chair of Choate’s IP Litigation Group, has more than 10 years of experience representing life sciences and technology companies in high stakes patent infringement, trade secrets, and other complex IP litigation. She provides an effective and user-friendly case management approach and counsels clients on litigation strategy to achieve their goals. Anita also represents clients in connection with inter partes review proceedings before the USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board, as well as in copyright issues (particularly related to software and artificial intelligence) and trade secret disputes.
In order to make her clients’ lives easier, Anita takes tasks off of their plates and makes their worries her own. She gains a thorough understanding of clients’ internal workflow so that her work product is immediately useful and does not require additional cycles. She speaks in clear and plain terms that clients and – importantly – judges and juries can understand.
By developing a global strategy to help clients manage risk and protect U.S. intellectual property while related cases proceed internationally, including directing EPO strategy and various litigations throughout the world, Anita and her team are experienced at mustering and managing various international law firms to ensure that international positions are consistent with those taken in the U.S. Her clients include Takeda, Biogen, EMC/Dell, Alarm.com, and Pegasystems.
