Sean M. Casey

Sean focuses his intellectual property practice on patent litigation, strategic IP counseling, and patent valuation. He has experience representing clients before the International Trade Commission (ITC), Federal district courts, and the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. Sean draws on his background in computer science and software development to advise clients across the technology sector. His practice covers a range of technologies including microprocessors, graphics processors, RF circuitry, consumer telecommunication systems, semiconductors, parking meters, drones, software, and flocked swabs.

Sean has held multiple roles in ITC investigations and Federal district court cases where he is relied upon by trial team leaders for developing infringement, validity, and claim construction positions in cases involving global high tech companies. Additionally, he has served as counsel and liaison in multiple inter partes review and post-grant proceedings, where he developed and coordinated validity positions for patents being simultaneously asserted in multiple jurisdictions.

Sean’s practice is complemented by years of industry experience. Before joining Mintz, Sean was a software engineer for a defense contractor where he specialized in distributed systems designed to find radio-based targets with direction finding and geolocation techniques and with low-level hardware devices and wireless communication protocols. Before that, for his graduate work, Sean conducted research at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell focusing on wireless sensor networks.
