Janvi U. Shah

Janvi practices litigation across multiple patent venues, including district courts, the Patent Trial and Appeals Board (PTAB) of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC). Her cases involve technologies such as file transfer, file synchronization, and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) systems. Janvi has served as first-chair for discovery dispute hearings. In serving as second chair for Markman and § 101 hearings, she has also prepared and recorded technology tutorials explaining patented file transfer and file synchronization systems. Her experience conducting depositions includes fact, corporate, and expert witnesses. She manages and executes technical discovery, which includes drafting document requests and interrogatories, reviewing large scale technical productions, and conducting source code inspections of accused software products. She has performed independent source code reviews in matters before the District of Delaware and the Northern District of California, working directly with Python, Java, and C++ codebases.

Janvi also supports inter partes review (IPR) proceedings before the USPTO, including drafting patent owner responses, assisting with expert declarations, and participating in strategic discussions involving file transfer, file synchronization, and OLED technologies. She is also responsible for prior art and freedom to operate (FTO) searches related to AI and ML technologies. 

In addition to her litigation practice, Janvi has a substantial patent prosecution background. She has drafted over 180 utility patent applications and prosecuted over 200 utility patents in the computer arts, with particular focus on 5G networks and standards, video coding technologies, and AI and ML systems, including applications in image processing and autonomous vehicle technologies. Janvi has conducted dozens of inventor interviews and regularly works directly with inventors and technical experts to develop and protect complex innovations. 

Before entering private practice, Janvi worked as a research assistant focusing on privacy, evidentiary law, and emerging technologies, including blockchain and deep fake technologies. She is experienced in invention harvesting and early stage patent development for software based systems.
