Jeff Fisher is a trial lawyer with a diverse practice focused on complex commercial litigation. He handles high-stakes disputes involving business and intellectual property issues, including patents, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, antitrust matters, and unfair competition. Jeff has successfully tried cases to verdict in both state and federal courts in California and throughout the United States.

Jeff was inducted into the American College of Trial Lawyers in 2021 and is chair of its California-Northern State Committee. He is dedicated to mentoring and training aspiring trial lawyers.

Notable engagements include:

• Prevailing in a three-week jury trial in the Eastern District of Texas, clearing our client, CNEX Labs, Inc., of all allegations of trade secret misappropriation, CFAA, and RICO claims made by Chinese smartphone maker behemoth Huawei Technologies. Instead, the jury found in favor of CNEX on its counterclaims for trade secret misappropriation, claims which CNEX uncovered during the discovery phase of the case.
• Winning a jury verdict following a five-week trial on trade secret and breach of NDA claims, including a finding of willful and malicious misappropriation in a case pending in the Northern District of California relating to data center technology.
• Winning a jury verdict following a three-week jury trial for our client, Volterra Semiconductor Corporation, in the Northern District of California, upholding the validity of Volterra's key patents for flip chip integrated power switches against challenges by defendants Infineon and Primarion. Infringement in favor of our client was determined prior to trial as a result of key rulings we obtained for Volterra in connection with claims construction and summary judgment proceedings.
• Representing Dolby Laboratories in seeking a declaratory judgment that Dolby’s AC-3 (Dolby Digital) technology did not infringe patents that Alcatel-Lucent had asserted against Dolby’s licensees. Following protracted litigation, in which we obtained discovery sanctions against Alcatel-Lucent on multiple occasions and attorneys’ fees at the conclusion of the case, we successfully obtained orders granting summary judgment of non-infringement on the patents-in-suit. The Federal Circuit affirmed the district court's orders awarding summary judgment and attorney's fees.

Jeff has specific experience with a wide variety of technologies, including semiconductor and chip packaging technologies; computer hardware, software, and networking technologies; green energy technologies; internet and encryption technologies; digital data compression technology; and data center networking, cooling, and construction technologies. He also represents clients in connection with parallel Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) proceedings.
