Merri Moken
Partner, Brown Rudnick LLP
I am a Partner in the New York office of Brown Rudnick, and a member of the firm's Intellectual Property Group. My broad-based patent litigation practice includes the biotech, regenerative medicine, chemical and pharmaceutical fields, as well as the mechanical and electrical arts. I have appeared before federal district and appellate courts, and the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC). I represent both plaintiffs and defendants concerning patent infringement, validity and enforceability, as well as trade secret misappropriation and other contract-related matters. My practice also includes client counseling, due diligence, licensing, trade secrets, unfair competition, dispute resolution, opinion work and the management of prosecution matters. Prior to my legal career, I gained practical work experience at several pharmaceutical companies, providing me with a real-world perspective and a significant understanding of underlying technologies. This experience gives me valuable insight into managing both the business and intellectual property goals of my clients, as well as providing creative solutions to help them reach those goals. I also spent several years performing independent research, discovering that disinfectants induce the expression of the mar gene, conferring multiple antibiotic resistance in bacteria. As an undergraduate at Princeton University, my scientific research and thesis focused on metal-assisted assembly of multi-helix protein bundles.
