Rudy Telscher

For more than 25 years, Rudy has litigated and tried a variety of intellectual property disputes in the areas of patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, Internet, and First Amendment in district and appellate courts throughout the United States, including in notable jurisdictions like the Eastern District of Texas, the District of Delaware, and the Central and Northern Districts of California. Rudy is a member of the firm’s Technology, Manufacturing & Transportation team.

Rudy has not lost a trial, arbitration or other case-dispositive motion in more than a decade. During this time, and for each case not settled following decision, he has been affirmed on appeal. Notable achievements include:

• Lead counsel representing Octane Fitness, LLC before the U.S. Supreme Court in its patent infringement case, a case that altered the balance of power in patent litigation. Rudy handled oral argument before the Supreme Court.
• Lead counsel in CDM Fantasy Sports v. Major League Baseball, in which his team made new law in turning back Major League Baseball’s attempts to monopolize the $1.5 billion per year fantasy sports industry in proceedings from the district court through Supreme Court.

Prior to entering law school, Rudy worked as an engineer for a leading defense contractor, applying his skills in the areas of avionics systems engineering and software development.
