Jared Bunker is an IP litigator with nearly two decades of experience. Clients trust Jared to handle complex patent, trade secret, and contract disputes. He represents clients in state and district court cases throughout the country, as well as before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board.
Jared has a deep technical and legal background, representing clients in the pharmaceutical, automotive, software, and medical device fields. Recently, Jared represented a large pharmaceutical company at trial in the District of Delaware. The trial centered on patents relating to a drug used to treat kidney disorders. In a separate case, Jared represented a software designer accusing his former employer of trade secret misappropriation. He secured a case-dispositive settlement after winning a motion to dismiss the former employer’s counterclaims. And in an arbitration before the AAA, Jared represented a pharmaceutical company in a contract dispute involving unpaid royalties, securing a complete victory for his client.
Jared has been recognized several times by Benchmark Litigation and Super Lawyers magazine for his litigation skills.
