T. KaitlinCrowder (Kait)

Kait Crowder's practice focuses on intellectual property, with a primary focus on patent litigation. She assists clients with defense and with protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights through court and administrative actions. She represents domestic and international clients in federal courts throughout the United States, in the International Trade Commission (ITC), and in inter partes review proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTAB).

In the past two years, Kait has tried four cases for clients such as Johnson & Johnson and NXP in which she directed and cross-examined fact and expert witnesses. She also recently played a key role in achieving a Rule 12 dismissal with prejudice due to the asserted patent claiming unpatentable subject matter. Kait has significant experience in all other stages of litigation in both offensive and defensive cases, including motion practice and argument for dispositive and non-dispositive motions, depositions, Markman proceedings, discovery, and strategic case development. She has played central roles in achieving case-dispositive indefiniteness rulings during Markman proceedings and also has been a key contributor in other successful invalidity challenges, noninfringement defenses, and the preservation and limitation on the scope of liability and damages claims.

Kait has experience in a wide variety of technologies, including semiconductors, lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, streaming media, medical devices, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals, among others.
