Joseph’s practice focuses on intellectual property litigation and counseling on issues related to intellectual property rights. Joseph’s primary focus is in patent litigation, including the intricacies of pharmaceutical litigation under the Hatch-Waxman Act and BPCIA. He has extensive experience in every stage of litigation, from pre-suit investigations through trial and appeal – including case initiation, fact and expert discovery, motion practice, and successful preparation for and participation in trials involving patent infringement allegations.

Joseph has represented clients across a wide range of technologies including pharmaceuticals, medical and mechanical devices, consumer products, and telecommunications services. He has also worked on numerous high-stakes Hatch-Waxman litigations for major pharmaceutical companies through trial and appeals. Beyond patent litigation, Joseph has experience in disputes involving unfair competition, breach of contract, trademarks and trade secret misappropriation, and educational institutions. In addition to litigation, he provides product analyses, enforcement advice, and evaluates infringement, validity, and competitive landscape analysis issues in relation to patent opinions and due diligence work.

In addition to his intellectual property and complex commercial litigation experience, Joseph served, pro bono, as lead counsel for a homeless shelter in numerous housing court matters, including summary process jury trial, alternative dispute resolution, contract negotiations, and strategic assessments.

Before beginning his legal career, he was a business and systems integration consultant, working with Fortune 100 financial services and technology clients to design and implement enterprise-wide IT systems across US markets.
