Elise is a patent trial litigator who treats damages as a strategy, not an afterthought. She guides technology companies through their highest‑stakes disputes in federal courts and at the ITC, with a particular strength in transforming complex analyses into persuasive narratives that win at summary judgment, at trial, and on appeal. Her technical casework spans semiconductors, networking, voice and video conferencing, AI and machine learning, wireless, and life sciences—anchored by a business‑first approach based on the value of these technologies.
