Thomas represents clients across a wide range of technologies: vehicular safety, propulsion, infotainment, and control systems; semiconductor circuitry, fabrication, and packaging; lighting systems; rechargeable battery systems; fintech software; monoclonal antibodies; and medical devices. In a recent trial, Thomas was lead counsel to Nichia Corporation in a three-patent ITC Investigation.  After a week-long hearing, in which Thomas directed Respondents’ main technical witness and cross-examined Complainants’ expert, the ALJ—and, ultimately, the Commission—found all patent claims not infringed, not supportive of a technical domestic industry and/or invalid. He also recently won a motion to dismiss for Nichia, on the basis of both patent indefiniteness and lack of written description (currently on appeal).

Thomas has been recognized and ranked in a number of legal publications, including Chambers & Partners, The Legal 500 and IAM Patent 1000. IAM Patent 1000 has noted that “Thomas is dedicated to work hard and get things done,” “is able to answer any questions precisely and effectively,” and that “[h]is team is great, especially because of Thomas’ strong leadership.” He also received the City Bar Justice Center 2023 Outstanding Pro Bono Service Award for his long-standing commitment to assisting entrepreneurs in realizing their dreams of economic self-sufficiency and community building as part of the Neighborhood Entrepreneur Law Project.

His clients have included: DENSO Corporation, GE Healthcare, Genmab A/S, Nichia Corporation, Olympus Corporation, SS&C Technologies, Toyota Motor Corporation, Vantage Specialty Chemicals, and Volkswagen Group of America.
