LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Business Journal has identified Intellectual Property partner Evan Finkel as one of four finalists for its Intellectual Property Attorney of the Year awards.
In its profile of Finkel, the Business Journal noted that he serves as leader of Pillsbury’s Los Angeles IP group and focuses on all aspects of computer-related technologies, consumer electronics, medical devices, video games and automotive industry systems and components. He has more than 30 years of experience representing clients in IP litigation and post-grant proceedings, as well as alternative dispute resolution proceedings, most often involving numerous parties and a multitude of patents. He is the sole named inventor on patented technology he created for a client and is also a mediator for intellectual property cases on the Central District of California Court Mediation Panel.
Among others, Finkel’s key clients include The Walt Disney Company and its affiliates (Pixar, ESPN, Disney Interactive Studios and LucasArts), Medtronic MiniMed, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, General Atomics and MicroVention.
The Business Journal reported that one client recently stated that Finkel “represents the highest level that can be achieved by an outside counsel.”
