Armstrong Teasdale Adds Intellectual Property Litigator Michael Carwin

July 24, 2024 Press Releases

Armstrong Teasdale announces the addition of Associate Michael W. Carwin to the firm’s Intellectual Property Litigation practice in Chicago. A registered patent attorney, Carwin focuses on complex patent, trademark, copyright and trade secrets litigation.

Within two years after receiving his law license, Carwin second-chaired and won a two-week trade dress infringement jury trial in New York federal court, successfully defending the client against a $120 million damages demand. Since then, he has continued to be a valued member of multiple high-stakes trial teams and has successfully represented both plaintiffs and defendants at trial. For example, in 2022, Carwin second-chaired and won a trial in California federal court, resulting in a favorable judgment totaling more than $10 million in disgorged profits and a permanent injunction.

Carwin represents clients in diverse technical fields, ranging from biotechnology and complex mechanical devices to computer software and hardware. He has extensive experience in federal courts and administrative agencies, including post-grant proceedings and inter partes review before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and cancellation and opposition proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB).

In addition, Carwin has experience in all stages of litigation, including taking and defending percipient and expert witness depositions, motions practice, trial preparation in federal court, and conducting direct and cross examinations of important fact and expert witnesses at multiple federal trials before a judge and jury. Michael understands the importance of thoughtfully developing a winning strategy at the early stages of litigation.

Carwin previously worked as an IP litigation associate at Armstrong Teasdale from 2018-2020. Prior to rejoining the firm, he was an IP litigation associate at a large law firm in the Chicago area.
