For Alyssa, IP protection is more than business; it’s personal. For more than a half-century, her family patented mechanical technologies that they developed into a thriving business. Alyssa’s family inspired her love of science and technology, as well as her desire to protect innovative ideas. Today Alyssa defends technology companies, ranging from budding start-ups to international corporations. She knows their success depends on it.
Alyssa represents companies in all stages of litigation — from pre-suit investigation, through trial, and on to appeals courts. She draws upon her engineering degree from Harvey Mudd College to engage with technical professionals and quickly grasp new technologies. She brings experience with a broad spectrum of technologies, ranging from streaming media systems to software and peripheral computer components to projects in the medical device, aerospace, and automotive industries.
The Daily Journal recognized Alyssa as one of the Top Women Lawyers in California in 2023 and both Bloomberg Law and Daily Journal named her to their 40 Under 40 Lists.
The American Lawyer has recently recognized Alyssa and her team for securing a summary judgment on a key patent claim for Sonos in the federal court case against Google and a win in a patent infringement jury trial against Google, where the jury awarded total of more than $32.5 million in damages.
The American Lawyer also recognized Alyssa and her team for their defended Zynga in patent ligation brought by gambling technology company IGT. In what was initially a six-patent case that was whittled down pre-trial, jurors in Austin, Texas found that Zynga’s casino slot games, including Game of Thrones and Hit it Rich, didn’t infringe IGT’s last patent standing. What’s more, jurors found IGT’s patent was invalid due to obviousness.
Alyssa calls Southern California home but remains loyal to the sports teams of her Bay Area childhood.
