Alexis Simpson

Troutman Sanders LLP

Alexis N. Simpson helps clients implement strategies that maximize the value of their patent portfolios. Her practice dually focuses on client counseling (including utility/design patent prosecution, due diligence and opinion work) and litigation (including PTAB, ITC, district court and appellate litigation).

Alexis’s dual focus on client counseling and litigation allows her to see the big picture and work with clients to develop a comprehensive IP strategy.

Whether she’s building a utility patent portfolio (domestic and abroad), adding layers of trademark and/or design patent protection, analyzing a competitive landscape, or setting up defensive/offensive litigation strategies, clients benefit from Alexis’s understanding of how patent acquisition and enforcement enhances their long-term business goals.

Alexis places a high priority on communication and client service and strives to be the first call her clients make when they are in need. In addition, her extensive advocacy and teaching background allows her to simplify complex issues, think on her feet and reach consensus among a broad range of viewpoints.

Alexis routinely gives industry-wide presentations on strategic patent portfolio development and enforcement. One of Alexis’s subspecialties is design patent portfolio development and enforcement.

She has been consistently recognized over the past decade for her leadership and team contributions. She has a track record of successfully leading a variety of organizations (e.g., statewide, nonprofit, law school, undergraduate, professional).

Additionally, from very early on in her career, Alexis has sought out and received the opportunity for intensive oral advocacy. She recently argued before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board with respect to 11 inter partes review (IPR) proceedings.

In law school, she argued at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit before a panel of judges, receiving high accolades and invaluable exposure that few junior attorneys have experienced.
