Dagim Tilahun is an associate in the Intellectual Property Practice Group in Haynes Boone’s Washington, D.C., office.

Dagim’s practice at Haynes Boone focuses on post-grant proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, patent litigation support, and licensing. He draws on his extensive experience in patent prosecution, both as an associate and a patent agent, when representing clients in post-grant proceedings. Dagim has developed and prosecuted patent portfolios in a wide range of technologies and technical fields. These include LTE/5G wireless communication technologies, software/AI-enabled precision medicine and digital health, 3D bioprinting and tissue engineering, natural language processing, medical devices, blockchains, robotics, wearable electronics, ultra-low-power semiconductor technologies, financial services, and web applications.

Dagim has also advised clients on patent assertion and licensing issues, particularly with respect to standard essential patents related to H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, H.266/VVC, VP9, and AVI video coding standards.

Dagim has an ongoing interest in maintaining an active pro-bono practice. His interest was deepened by an “Innocence Project” pro-bono matter that he was involved in and found to be one of the most poignant cases he worked on during his entire legal career.
