Joshua Rich, a partner in Lippes Mathias' Intellectual Property Practice Team, brings over 30 years of experience as an intellectual property trial attorney and client counselor across a broad range of matters. He has achieved success for clients in federal and state trial and appellate courts throughout the United States in patent, trade secret, trademark, copyright, and other commercial disputes. He has also reached positive outcomes for clients before the United States Patent and Trademark Office in inter partes review, reexamination, and interference proceedings, as well as in international arbitrations.
While Joshua has primarily represented clients in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device sectors, his expertise extends to diverse technologies including telecommunications, computer code, and graphical user interfaces. He demonstrates proficiency across all aspects of trial and appellate litigation, from pretrial seizures and preliminary injunction proceedings through bench and jury trials, appeals, and certiorari petitions.
Joshua is also a sought-after voice of expertise on artificial intelligence (AI) issues. He provides counseling on AI use policies, as well as privacy and intellectual property concerns. He works closely with clients to help them adopt AI use policies that will not only protect the clients’ assets, but also will be implementable to help the clients’ businesses leverage the gains of AI. He has also spoken and published often on how AI effects businesses’ and clients’ data and policies.
Prior to joining Lippes, Joshua served as his firm’s general counsel. That experience has helped him view representation from the client’s point of view. He seeks the best outcome for clients’ business, whether that means a trial, a negotiated settlement, or even avoiding problems in the first place.
