Prominent Patent Litigator Josh Raskin Joins Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - November 12, 2009) - Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP
announces that Joshua L.
Raskin has joined its Intellectual Property Litigation Department.
Mr. Raskin brings to BLB&G extensive experience and success in intellectual
property litigation, and patent litigation in particular. A registered
patent attorney, he has led large, groundbreaking cases in intellectual
property arenas, at both the trial and appellate stages.
Mr. Raskin's litigation experience also includes a unique and cutting edge
consulting role for his hedge fund clients. He analyzes pending patent
litigation and provides advice regarding all aspects of the litigation,
including timing and potential outcomes. His research, custom-tailored to
the client's needs, assists hedge funds in their investment decisions.
BLB&G Partner Chad Johnson,
who leads the firm's IP Litigation Department, explained, "It's very
exciting to have Josh join the firm as it represents a significant leap
forward for our growing patent and IP litigation practice. We know him
well from prosecuting major patent litigations together for our clients and
his experience, talent, creativity and professionalism are a major addition
to our group."
Mr. Raskin on his affiliation with BLB&G: "I am very pleased to be joining
the talented litigators at BLB&G in defending the creativity and innovation
of inventors. Patent litigation has become increasingly expensive, making
it difficult, if not impossible, for inventors to protect their valuable
intellectual property rights. BLB&G's contingency fee model enables us to
defend those rights against even the largest of infringers."
BLB&G, a top ranked litigation boutique with an unparalleled track record
of obtaining historic recoveries from the largest companies in the U.S. and
beyond, has prestigious practices in other diverse areas such as mergers
and acquisitions litigation, securities, corporate governance and
shareholder rights, and employment law. The firm's IP Litigation
Department is prosecuting some of the largest patent litigations in the
country. The firm is well known for conducting its cases on a contingency
fee basis rather than using the hourly billing model. In addition to
obtaining unprecedented monetary recoveries, the firm has litigated
numerous seminal cases establishing precedents which have increased market
transparency, held wrongdoers accountable, and changed corporate business
practices in groundbreaking ways.
Mr. Raskin joins BLB&G from Cozen O'Conner where he was a partner in the
Business Law Department. Prior to that, he was a partner with and member
of the Executive Committee of Wolf Block LLP in New York. Mr. Raskin earned
his law degree from Brooklyn Law School and his undergraduate degree from
the University of Michigan College of Engineering.
