Patent Litigator Joins Hooper, Lundy & Bookman as Head of IP Practice
M. Andrew “Drew” Woodmansee has joined Hooper, Lundy & Bookman as a shareholder in its San Diego office, where he will lead the firm’s intellectual property practice.
He joins from Jones Day, where he was partner.
In a release, the firm said Woodmansee has spent more than two decades representing clients in high-stakes patent litigation throughout the United States, primarily in the medical device, diagnostics, surgical equipment, and pharmaceutical industries. Woodmansee has tried cases to verdict in jury trials, bench trials, and in Section 337 investigations before the U.S. International Trade Commission, as well as numerous cases for pharmaceutical clients under the Hatch-Waxman Act.
The firm said characteristic engagements include representing Dexcom in successful patent litigation related to continuous glucose monitors and a San-Diego-based diagnostics company in a patent dispute that involved one bench trial and two jury trials. In the latter case, the jury delivered a defense verdict for Woodmansee’s client, which the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit later affirmed.
Prior to joining Jones Day, Woodmansee was partner at Morrison & Foerster where he practiced for nearly 16 years, during which time he served as head of the litigation department in the San Diego office. He has served on the board of directors for the San Diego Volunteer Law Program and the San Diego Gay and Lesbian Bar Association
