Trent Webb is Chair of Shook’s Intellectual Property Litigation Practice Group and practices exclusively in the areas of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret litigation. He has been lead trial counsel in more than 150 intellectual property cases and manages a practice group of more than 60 attorneys. He has successfully tried cases on behalf of plaintiffs and defendants throughout the country involving a wide range of technologies.

Trent often has represented individuals and large companies as plaintiffs in patent infringement litigation, obtaining more than $1 billion in jury verdicts and settlements on behalf of his clients. He also defends mid-sized to large companies in patent litigation, and has obtained multiple favorable defense verdicts in jury trials across the country. He and his team also have won many summary judgment and other dispositive motion victories for his clients.

There is no substitute for a track record of trial success. Not only do Trent and his team have an enviable record of trial wins, but they pride themselves in litigation planning and developing a strategic roadmap through trial for their clients. This planning includes not only setting forth a path to victory but also establishing a clear budget to get there. This strategy keeps clients returning to the Shook IP Litigation Practice Group time and again to handle their most important intellectual property cases.
