Practice

Mr. Prussia's practice focuses on intellectual property litigation and other complex business disputes. He has represented clients in patent disputes involving a variety of technologies, including pharmaceuticals, integrated circuits, digital imaging and video compression. He has also represented clients facing allegations of breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty under the ERISA statute. His practice has encompassed nearly every aspect of litigation, from pre-suit investigation through appeal. Specifically, Mr. Prussia has managed electronic discovery, deposed and defended significant witnesses, including inventors, company executives and experts, drafted and argued motions, negotiated settlements and tried cases to arbitrators. Mr. Prussia also has experience assisting clients in responding to third party subpoenas.

Recent Highlights

  • Representing several leading manufacturers of smartphone devices in patent litigations involving integrated circuits, graphical user interface and digital camera technology.
  • Representing several pharmaceutical companies in Hatch-Waxman (ANDA) patent litigations.
  • Obtained dismissal of a putative class action alleging breaches of ERISA fiduciary duties related to the investment of employer stock in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan.

Pro bono representation is also an important part of Mr. Prussia's practice. In 2009, Mr. Prussia represented the ACLU of Massachusetts in an amicus submission to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court concerning the lawful boundaries of pat frisks under the Fourth Amendment. In a May 2010 decision, the Supreme Judicial Court abrogated nearly 20 year-old precedent and adopted the position advanced by the ACLU.
