Professional Experience
David Headrick practices in all areas of intellectual property law with particular emphasis on intellectual property and technology-related disputes (e.g. litigation and arbitration). His practice also includes client counseling, licensing, prosecution of patent and trademark applications, and clearance opinions.
David has managed all aspects of complex intellectual property litigation and arbitration. He has substantial experience with large-scale cases involving large amounts in controversy (i.e. hundreds of millions of dollars in accused sales). David has extensive experience in all aspects of complicated discovery, working with technical experts, writing and arguing case dispositive motions, conducting multi-week trials and arbitrations (including direct and cross-examination of witnesses), and patent claim construction hearings.
In 2004, David managed the defense of one of the firm’s largest clients when the client’s competitor filed an application for a preliminary injunction and TRO seeking to enjoin the sale of the client’s leading medical device. In a matter of days, David managed the briefing, witnesses, and all other evidentiary submissions considered by the Court. The Court denied the application in a forty-seven page opinion in which it found that all four grounds required for injunctive relief were not met.
David subsequently managed the litigation team in the same case. After complicated discovery, the Court (1) issued a claim construction order that adopted all the constructions advocated on behalf of the firm’s client, (2) granted summary judgment of non-infringement, and (3) granted summary judgment of invalidity. The plaintiff’s original infringement claim against nearly $2B of the client’s sales was dismissed.
David’s experience encompasses a broad spectrum of technologies such as coronary angioplasty catheters, cardiac defibrillators / pacemakers, spinal implants, and needleless IV injection sites.
David received his law degree from the University of Minnesota where he graduated magna cum laude and was an editor for the University of Minnesota Law Review.
David received his undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from Marquette University, which he attended on academic scholarship.
