Albert Jacobs, Chair, Senior Lawyers Division

With more than 40 years of experience in every phase of Patent Law, Mr. Jacobs has spent the last 30 years litigating Biotech, Pharmaceutical, and Medical Device Patents, for multinational companies both before the Federal District Courts, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) and the International Trade Commission (ITC). He was the first of a group of attorneys to participate in the ITC’s first 100 Day Proceeding dealing with the issue of whether or not there was a Domestic Industry in the subject matter of the Patent. He was successful in proving there was not. He successfully sued a number of large well known foreign companies in one of the largest ITC cases ever filed when he brought an action against 44 companies. He has appeared before the CAFC from its outset and is the only attorney ever to invalidate a Patent for his client on an appeal from an improvidently granted Preliminary Injunction. Mr. Jacobs has participated in numerous Mediations both in the Federal Courts and in the ITC. He was appointed by the Secretary of Commence to a 3-year term on the Patent Public Advisory Committee. He is a Certified Mediator under New York State Statutes and has participated in a wide range of Domestic Family Matters. He has served as a coach for the Association of the Bar of the City of New York in their Mediation Program. A graduate of Harvard College and Columbia Law School where he was a Stone Scholar, he is a member of numerous Bars as well as the Supreme Court of the United States. He is currently Chair Elect of the Maricopa County Bar Association Litigation Section and is the Chair of the Senior Lawyers Division of the Federal Bar Association (FBA), and Chair of the Senior Lawyers Committee of the Phoenix Chapter of the FBA as well as member of that Chapter’s Executive Committee.
