David Tellekson Email & Phone Number

I am a Partner in Fenwick & West’s Litigation Group, and have over 30 years of experience as a trial lawyer in technology disputes, primarily patent, trade secret, and contract matters. My core expertise lies in patent and licensing disputes in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, polymers and medical devices, as well as ANDA litigation. These have involved a wide array of technologies such as fluoro-nucleosides used to treat HCV, retroviral vectors used for gene delivery, genetically modified proteins, pharmaceuticals, including ezetimibe, flecainide, and omeprazole, the adhesive on a Post-it note, defibrillators, supercomputers, and contact lenses. I have numerous successful jury and bench trials, arbitrations and trials before the International Trade Commission. At the start of a case, I work to identify a highly effective trial theme that fits the facts, and that will resonate with the jury or judge. This theme remains central to the approach taken throughout discovery and trial. I also start with the client’s business objective firmly in mind in planning and executing an effective approach. I am fortunate to work on these matters with an outstanding group of lawyers and support staff. Together we have been able to take very complex matters to a successful completion.

Listed skills include Patent Litigation, Biotechnology, Polymers, Chemistry, and 18 others.
