He has tried cases before administrative law judges at the ITC.

In addition to his litigation practice, Raj advises clients on a wide variety of transactional patent matters, including licensing, strategic prosecution matters, and monetization strategies for issued patents. He has extensive experience in assessing, developing, implementing, and managing patent portfolios. Raj also provides opinions on patentability, infringement, and validity of patents.

Prior to joining Finnegan, Raj served as a staff scientist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, where his research activities covered a wide array of topics, including nanofabrication of one and two dimensional magnetic and non-magnetic arrays; microlithography with the use of excimer lasers and radiation from synchrotron sources; development of deep ultraviolet optical sensors; and high accuracy characterization of optical materials for optical microlithography.
