Michael Oblon focuses on patent and trade secret litigation and counseling for companies that develop software, electronics, and electromechanical products. He also develops company-specific trade secret policies and manages patent portfolios (including strategic patent prosecution) for several leading companies in these fields.

Michael litigates in state and federal district courts across the United States and in the International Trade Commission (ITC), Court of Federal Claims, and Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. He maintains an active technology-based trade secret litigation practice on behalf of trade secret owners and companies accused of misappropriation. Michael has secured exclusion orders at the ITC and significant monetary settlements for clients as plaintiffs in patent and trade secret disputes. On behalf of defendants he has won several patent cases on summary judgment of noninfringement and/or invalidity, concerning technical subject matters including hearing aid signal processing circuitry, database systems, missile countermeasure technology, and various aspects of wireless communications systems and web-based music streaming. Michael also represents clients in proceedings before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and has successfully argued before the Patent Trial and Appeals Board (PTAB).

He also has lectured about intellectual property at the University of Pennsylvania and at corporations and CLE seminars and has been quoted in articles in leading IP legal publications.
