Tyler Train has extensive experience in intellectual property litigation across a variety of technologies, with an emphasis on patent litigation in the medical device and medtech industry. With a technical background in biomedical engineering, he helps medtech innovators protect and enforce their intellectual property.

Tyler has tried multiple patent cases to verdict, where he has experience taking and preparing witnesses and arguing trial motions. Tyler is also skilled at developing pre-trial strategies for patent-specific issues such as claim construction, non-infringement, and invalidity.

In addition to his litigation work, Tyler’s practice also encompasses post-grant proceedings and prosecution of patent and trademark applications both in the U.S. and internationally. Tyler serves clients in the fields of medical devices, semiconductors, and software and mobile applications, among many others.
