Patent litigator joins Locke Lord as partner in New York
Patent litigator Mark Hannemann has joined Locke Lord’s New York office as a partner in the firm’s IP litigation practice group.
Joining from Shearman & Sterling where he was a partner, Hannemann has more than 25 years of nationwide and international experience as a patent and trade secret litigator.
He has experience across a broad spectrum of industries, including consumer electronics, computer networking, memory systems, LEDs, software and many different automotive systems.
“Mark’s vast experience conducting and managing high-stakes and technically complex IP matters for global companies further elevates the abilities of our national practice while complementing our New York IP litigation practices,” said Alan Clement, chair of Locke Lord’s IP department.
“His first-rate practice, particularly his work with the lighting, semiconductor and automotive industries, will align exceptionally well with our clients’ needs.”
“Mark’s addition further solidifies Locke Lord’s commitment to growth in the region, following the arrivals of financial services litigation partner Dom Cervoni and insurance regulatory and transactional partner Jared Wilner already this year,” added Lisa Ruggiero, managing partner of Locke Lord’s New York office.
“Mark is an exceptional lawyer and leader in the IP arena, and we are thrilled to welcome him to our New York office.”
Hannemann is a member of the Federal Circuit Bar Association and a Federal Communications Bar Association global fellow.
“Locke Lord has a strong national platform and a deep bench of experienced lawyers with highly technical backgrounds,” said Hannemann.
“The firm’s comprehensive understanding of the competitive IP market, including patents, trademarks, copyrights and unfair trade, gives me the ability to continue providing world-class service to my clients.”
