Anthony focuses his practice on IP litigation in the federal district court, including patent and trade secret litigation.
He has been involved in complex IP cases as both lead and Delaware counsel covering various technology areas, including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems, exhaust gas treatment systems, oil wells, and computer networks. He has also been involved in trademark, antitrust, and contract litigation in district court, as well as trade secret and contract litigation before the Delaware Court of Chancery.
Anthony’s experience spans many phases of litigation, from initial pleadings through final judgment, including taking and defending depositions, examining witnesses at trial, and taking an active role on trial teams.
In 2024, he was one of nine attorneys selected to participate in the Federal Trial Practice Seminar sponsored by the US District Court for the District of Delaware and the Federal Bar Association. The seminar included lectures on trial practice and strategy from leading practitioners and judges, as well as practical experience presenting opening statements, closing arguments, arguing motions in limine, and a day-long mock jury trial in the District Court.
In his pro bono activities, Anthony has served as a volunteer advocate, under the guidance of Delaware Volunteer Legal Services (DVLS), in a “protection from abuse” matter in family court. He has taken on a case through the District of Delaware’s Federal Civil Panel. He has also participated in the DVLS “Wills for Seniors” event. In his support of the ABA Death Penalty Representation Project, he worked on post-conviction proceedings that overturned an inmate’s death sentence.
While an undergraduate studying nuclear engineering, Anthony worked for two power utility companies with nuclear power generation facilities in Florida, gaining industry experience relating to radiation monitoring and regulatory compliance practices.
Anthony has been included in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch for his work in intellectual property litigation, patent litigation, and intellectual property law.
