Kurt Calia Email & Phone Number

I help life sciences and technology clients resolve their most important intellectual property and complex litigation disputes. For more than two decades, I have lead trial teams, representing plaintiffs and defendants, in courts throughout the country, including the Court of Federal Claims and the International Trade Commission. I also have significant appellate experience in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the 2nd, 6th, 8th, and 9th Circuits and the U.S. Supreme Court. I specialize in translating complex technology and legal theories into effective advocacy across an unusually broad range of technologies—from pharmaceutical chemistry to semiconductors.In addition to my trial work, I serve as a member of the firm’s Business Committee and California Steering Committee, and I previously served as Managing Partner for Legal Personnel, Hiring Partner, and Summer Program Chair for more than twenty years. I also serve on the firm’s Associate Advisory Committee. I also maintain an active pro bono practice, I write and speak on intellectual property issues, and have taught courses on intellectual property at Stanford Law School, Berkeley Law School, and Howard University Law School.
