Mr. Gornish’s practice involves all aspects of intellectual property law. However, he primarily wears two hats: that of a litigator and that of a patent prosecutor.
Mr. Gornish handles intellectual property litigation matters for both plaintiffs and defendants, but the majority of his litigation practice focuses on defending clients against claims of patent infringement. Mr. Gornish’s patent defense work largely involves representing generic pharmaceutical companies who seek to enter the market during the patent life of a pioneer drug - a patent litigation niche known as "Hatch-Waxman" litigation. His strong writing advocacy skills, strategic thinking and legal research abilities make him an essential asset to Caesar Rivise’s litigation team. Mr. Gornish believes that there is no "one size fits all" approach to litigation and that a litigation strategy must be developed around a client’s goals, objectives and budget.
As a patent prosecutor, Mr. Gornish is registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and has significant experience protecting the intellectual property rights of creative individuals through patenting. While Mr. Gornish handles patent work for large established companies, he especially enjoys serving as patent counsel for individual inventors and startup companies. Mr. Gornish’s technical background renders him especially well suited to handle patent matters related to mechanical and electromechanical inventions. As a mechanical engineering undergraduate, Mr. Gornish worked for two years as an engineering intern for a leading global medical device company, designing implants and instruments for orthopedic and spine surgery. Mr. Gornish therefore has a particular interest in and knack for patent work in the medical device field.
Mr. Gornish’s two hats complement each other. While drafting patent applications, Mr. Gornish thinks like a litigator to detect the existence of any latent loopholes to infringement or threats to patent validity in his own work. At the same time, Mr. Gornish’s familiarity with the nuances of practice before the Patent Office and of the patent laws are invaluable when litigating infringement cases.
