IRVINE, Calif., November 18, 2024 – Knobbe Martens is pleased to share that partner Irfan Lateef has been recognized as a 2024 Los Angeles Times Business of Law Visionary for his outstanding work in intellectual property law. According to the publication, those honored as visionaries demonstrate “commitment to excellence, thought leadership and impactful contributions to both their clients and the broader legal community.”
Mr. Lateef, chair of the firm’s Electrical, Semiconductor & Computer Technology Litigation Committee, was recognized for his nearly 25-year track record of achieving successful litigation outcomes for clients across multiple industries and in highly complex technical cases. His profile further noted how his background in biomedical engineering has bolstered his IP litigation prowess.
The publication also highlighted Mr. Lateef’s key role on the team representing health technology company Masimo in several litigation matters, including a recent victory that resulted in the dismissal of a patent infringement lawsuit against Masimo and a permanent injunction against Sotera Wireless and Foxconn.
Beyond his client work, Mr. Lateef is a sought-after thought leader, particularly in the medical device space. He regularly participates in speaking engagements on litigation trends in the medical device industry and authored an article in MedTech Strategist earlier this year on permanent injunctions as a patent protection strategy.
