Arnold & Porter has added Brian Hill as a partner in its Intellectual Property practice in Washington, D.C., strengthening the firm’s capabilities in U.S. International Trade Commission litigation.
Hill focuses on cross-border intellectual property disputes involving the technology and life sciences industries. He has handled dozens of investigations under Section 337 of the Tariff Act, representing clients on both sides of complex unfair-import disputes before the ITC.
His practice covers patent and trademark litigation, trade secret theft, unfair competition claims under the Lanham Act, and antitrust allegations.
In the life sciences sector, Hill has used Section 337 proceedings to address counterfeit medical devices entering the U.S. supply chain, as well as allegedly falsely advertised and mislabeled pharmaceutical products.
Hill previously worked at the ITC and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, giving him experience with both federal agencies and private litigation.
Before joining Arnold & Porter, he was a partner at another Am Law 100 firm.
Hill earned his law degree, cum laude, from the University of Maryland School of Law. He also holds a master’s degree from Columbia University and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Delaware.
Arnold & Porter has more than 1,000 lawyers across 16 offices and advises clients through over 40 regulatory, litigation and transactional practice areas.
KEY QUOTES:
“Brian is an established authority and thought leader in the specialized area of ITC matters. He regularly leads complex investigations for brand-name clients on both sides of the aisle.”
“As patent litigation increasingly includes attendant Section 337 investigations at the ITC, Brian’s arrival will enhance the group’s capabilities to provide full-service IP advice and counsel.”
Evan Rothstein, Co-Chair of Arnold & Porter’s Intellectual Property Practice
“Arnold & Porter has key strengths in IP litigation and representing clients before federal agencies, which matters enormously at the ITC, where the two are inseparable.”
Brian Hill, Partner at Arnold & Porter
