Bradley A. Hyde

Bradley represents clients in high-stakes patent and trade secrets litigation.  He has successfully litigated cases in every major patent venue across the US, including district courts, the International Trade Commission (ITC), the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), as well as before the Federal Circuit, the D.C. Circuit, the Ninth Circuit, and the Supreme Court, both as plaintiff and defense counsel.

Bradley has significant trial experience.  In 2024, Bradley helped lead a team to obtain a full victory in the International Trade Commission in a medical device case for Complainant Serendia LLC, initially involving 6 patents asserted against 8 different entities.  Bradley presented Complainant’s technical expert for one of the primary patent families, and cross-examined multiple respondent experts, resulting in a finding that all asserted claims were infringed and valid.

Prior to that, in 2022 and 2023, Bradley helped lead a team to obtain a full victory in the International Trade Commission in a case involving garage door operators and accessories for Complainant The Overhead Door Corporation, against its primary competitor The Chamberlain Group, LLC.  There Bradley presented multiple fact and expert witnesses, and cross-examined multiple respondent fact and expert witnesses, once again resulting in a finding that all asserted claims were infringed and valid.  Parallel to these ITC actions, Bradley also helped lead a team to successfully defend against a patent infringement action filed by The Chamberlain Group LLC against The Overhead Door Corporation in the Western District of Texas before Judge Rodney Gilstrap.

Bradley has also successfully litigated trade secrets cases, including LG Chem’s landmark 2020 win at the ITC in its high profile trade secrets case against SK Innovation on electric car batteries, resulting in a $1.8 billion settlement between SK Innovation Co. and LG Energy Solutions.

Bradley also has significant experience helping veterans, immigrants, and victims of domestic violence as part of his pro bono practice.   For example, in 2023, Bradley won a precedent-setting Veterans’ Disability case before the D.C. Circuit in Jason Sissel v. Christine Wormuth, No. 22-5045 (D.C. Cir. 2023), resulting in a nation-wide shift to how the military’s physical disability review board awards disability payments to veterans.  Bradley similarly won victories before the Ninth Circuit in multiple immigration Asylum cases, including Ayala v. Sessions, No. 13-72250 (9th Circuit 2017) and Toure v. Garland, No. 20-72920 (2021).

Prior to joining Russ August & Kabat, Bradley worked as an attorney at Latham & Watkins, where he litigated IP cases for over 10 years.
