Michael T. Renaud, Chair of Mintz’s Intellectual Property Division, has been named to Bloomberg Law’s 2025 Unrivaled Litigators list. The inaugural award celebrates litigators at law firms and elsewhere who lead the legal industry in high-stakes trials and settlements on impactful matters for clients.

“At Bloomberg Law, we’ve made tremendous strides in our macro approach to litigation coverage over the past few years. We thought it was a great time to zoom in a bit and focus in on some of the key litigators winning ‘bet the farm’ trials and settlements,” said Lisa Helem, executive editor, Bloomberg Industry Group. “The stakes were high — we required two significant trial or settlement wins within a roughly two-year period. And nominees had to have a history of litigation excellence and success. Our debut litigator honorees — respected in their craft and leading firms and practices — embody that and so much more.”

The publication highlighted Michael’s leadership in securing a key victory in Advanced Micro Devices, et al. v. TCL Communications, et. al, at the International Trade Commission in January 2024.

Reflecting on his strategy in the case, Mike noted, “Mintz’s team has handled more semiconductor cases than virtually any other US firm. We understand best practices for picking patents and executing on proving up infringement cases, especially in the graphics processing space in which all smart TVs now operate.”

Michael Renaud is known as one of the world’s leading intellectual property strategists. As Chair of Mintz’s IP Division and a member of the firm’s policy committee, Michael leads an international team of IP prosecutors, litigators, transaction and technology specialists. A pioneer in IP strategy, Michael has unique experience and expertise in formulating and executing multi-national enforcement and monetization strategies.

Through traditional litigation and licensing approaches, and by creating markets for, and brokering the sale and acquisition of, intellectual property portfolios, Michael has helped his clients realize returns of over $1 billion.

Michael is annually recognized in Chambers, IAM’s Patent 1000 and Strategy 300, and by Managing IP, including as a finalist for Massachusetts Litigator of the Year (2021-2023, 2025) and Patent Star – Contentious (2018-2024).
