Steve has litigated patent cases for over 20 years, including as lead or co-lead counsel in over a dozen lawsuits.

Mr. Pepe is experienced in managing and coordinating multi-jurisdictional disputes that involve parallel actions in U.S. district courts, the International Trade Commission, and foreign jurisdictions.
