Irwin IP LLP

Irwin IP focuses exclusively on intellectual property and technology-related litigation. We defend clients in high-stakes, bet-the-company matters and help them enforce and monetize their intellectual property. Our expertise extends to handling Patent Office validity challenges (reexaminations, IPRs, and PGRs), providing intellectual property counseling, and supporting merger and acquisition due diligence. Founded in 2014 by Barry Irwin, a seasoned attorney with over 24 years of experience in high-stakes intellectual property litigation, Irwin IP is built on a foundation of excellence. Barry, a decade-long equity partner at one of the world's most prestigious law firms and a Fellow of the invitation-only Litigation Counsel of America trial lawyer honorary society, has assembled a team of exceptional attorneys. Three of Barry’s former "big-law" partners have joined Irwin IP, bringing decades of high-stakes litigation experience to create a powerhouse IP litigation boutique. At Irwin IP, we pride ourselves on delivering premium legal representation at reasonable rates with uncompromising billing integrity. While many firms promise this, we deliver. Our approach includes thoroughly analyzing each case, identifying winning arguments and innovative strategies, zealously preparing for trial, and achieving resolutions that allow clients to focus on their business. We represent a diverse clientele, from small start-ups to Fortune 500 companies, and our achievements speak for themselves. In just a short time, we’ve secured numerous victories, including a $16 million jury verdict for a mid-sized software company after a three-week trial, helping a disruptive start-up overcome patent infringement and false advertising claims brought by a large multinational company, and achieving summary judgment of no patent infringement—on three separate, independent grounds—for a mid-sized manufacturing company in a heated dispute with its competitor.
