Brett Bostrom

Brett Bostrom focuses on patent preparation and prosecution, post-grant proceedings, and patent litigation, using his extensive technical knowledge to assist clients across standardized telecommunications, networking, medical devices, and related technologies. He counsels clients on developing robust U.S. and foreign patent portfolios and provides strategic guidance on intellectual property matters, including patent due diligence analysis to support business expansion and new product launches.

Brett has substantial experience both procuring patents and challenging patents in complex technical areas, including standardized telecommunications protocols and networking architectures. In particular, Brett practices in standard-essential patents (SEPs) related to 3GPP standards (e.g., CDMA, LTE, 5G, 6G) and IEEE standards (e.g., IEEE 802.11). His technical fluency in these standardization frameworks enables him to efficiently navigate patent disputes and develop strategic solutions for licensing and litigation matters involving SEPs.

Other technologies Brett’s practice supports include nanoscale semiconductor sensors, medical devices, medical imaging, optics, automotive systems, manufacturing technologies, e-commerce, and artificial intelligence/machine learning systems. It is his priority to understand the details and subtleties of his clients' technologies to deliver the most valuable results possible.

Before his legal career, Brett worked as an industrial engineer for a global automotive safety company and served as an R&D intern for a large aerospace company, where he gained hands-on experience with complex engineering systems and manufacturing processes. During law school, Brett served as editor-in-chief of his school's intellectual property periodical, IP Theory, and was a student associate for he school's pro bono intellectual property clinic.
