A Decisive Advocate in a Complex Patent Dispute

When our company faced a high-stakes patent infringement claim from a competitor, the situation felt overwhelming. We needed counsel who was not only technically adept but also a seasoned strategist. Susan Spaeth was exactly that. Her 36 years of experience, particularly her deep focus in patent litigation, provided an immediate sense of confidence. She meticulously deconstructed the opposing party's claims, leveraging her recognized expertise in intellectual property law to identify critical weaknesses in their position. Her guidance was clear, direct, and always grounded in the practical realities of both the courtroom and our business. The matter was resolved favorably through a strategic settlement that protected our core technology, a direct result of her formidable preparation and negotiation skills. Susan’s professionalism and mastery of this complex field are precisely why she receives the accolades she does. We are profoundly grateful for her exceptional representation.
