George began his career as a Staff Attorney with the Office of Unfair Import
Investigations of the United States International Trade Commission, where he handled
numerous section 337 cases in a variety of technologies on behalf of the Office.
After leaving the ITC, George entered private practice, where he began representing
private parties, including two major research institutions appearing as
complainants, before the ITC. He also began handling matters in various federal
district courts throughout the United States, where his clients included several
Fortune 500 companies. As with his work at the ITC, George’s litigation
efforts in private practice have run the technological gamut.
By the time he joined K&L Gates, George had served as first chair patent
litigator in several dozen intellectual property litigation matters before district
courts and the ITC. He has also served as amici counsel for numerous universities
and university-related organizations in intellectual property matters pending before
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court. Since
joining the firm, George has continued, and expanded upon, his intellectual property
litigation practice, having, for example, appeared in more than half a dozen section
337 cases before the ITC in his first three years at the firm.
George is active in the Richard Linn American Inn of Court, which focuses on the
practice of intellectual property law. He has also provided assistance to several
Eastern European governments in drafting intellectual property laws through programs
administered by the United States Department of State, the United States Information
Agency, and the Central and Eastern European Law Institute.
