Andrew Schneider's varied practice includes patent litigation in U.S. district courts, patent prosecution, and post-grant proceedings at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). He works with a diverse set of technologies, including financial services, manufacturing, medical devices, and augmented reality (AR) devices.
Andrew advises clients on patent-specific litigation positions, including infringement, validity, and claim construction. He has experience drafting inter partes review (IPR) and ex parte reexamination petitions on behalf of both patent owners and challengers. He also counsels clients through the patent application process before the USPTO, which includes invention harvesting, conducting prior art searches, drafting new patent applications, and responding to Office Actions.
While in law school, Andrew interned at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, where he was involved in various patent litigation cases as well as appeals from the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. He served as a law clerk for the U.S. International Trade Commission's (ITC) Office of Unfair Import Investigations, focusing on cases involving patent and trademark infringement as well as trade secret misappropriation.
Prior to law school, Andrew worked for a global engineering firm, designing fire sprinkler and alarm systems for commercial buildings and large mixed-use facilities. He also assisted in developing computer models to detail fire and heat transfer between adjacent buildings.
Andrew also devotes a portion of his time to pro bono matters, specifically those involving post-conviction relief under the Incarceration Reduction Amendment Act (IRAA).
