Zachary Coots is an associate of the firm's Trial & Global Disputes practice. Zach specializes in intellectual property litigation with an emphasis on patents and has experience litigating cases before the U.S. District Courts, the U.S. International Trade Commission, and the Patent Trial & Appeal Board.
With a mechanical engineering degree, Zach is a technology-heavy litigator. Zach narrows in on the technical issues of the case, pulling from his experience as a judicial law clerk at the Patent Trial & Appeal Board and as an examiner in Technology Center 3685 (Blockchain and Cryptography) to craft winning arguments and develop a strong record.
Zach has litigated cases and advised clients on a range of technologies including: computer and internet security, enterprise content management, signal processing, radio frequency modulation, telecommunications, internet of things, automotive and transportation technologies, carbon nanotubes, windmill technology, blockchain networks and payment systems, and cryptographic technologies for secured transactions.
Outside of his technology litigation practice, Zach also regularly represents survivors of domestic violence in the D.C. Superior Court through the D.C. Volunteer Lawyers Project.
