Experience
The law applies to nearly every business decision, particularly when that decision concerns the protection, monetization, or enforcement of innovation in the form of intellectual property. As a litigator and counselor, Oren Langer helps clients avoid legal minefields, make decisions, and carry out those decisions in furtherance of his clients’ business objectives. He has and continues to represent clients through every stage of litigation, from pre-suit investigations, case-initiation, and discovery--electronic, fact, and expert--to dispositive motion practice, mediation, and trial. Mr. Langer has represented plaintiffs and defendants in complex commercial litigation, and patent and trademark infringement litigations. His intellectual property litigation experience spans various industries including pharmaceuticals (under the Hatch-Waxman regulatory framework), chemicals, telecommunications, video gaming, retail services, and representing clients in Rate Court proceedings. Mr. Langer also advises his clients on transactional matters, including licensing negotiations and campaigns, and monetizing intellectual property in anticipation of prospective mergers or acquisitions.
Prior to his legal career, Mr. Langer earned a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry and interned and worked at Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pharmacopeia as an organic chemist. During law school, Mr. Langer interned at the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey for Judge Alfred J. Lechner, Jr. and Judge Dennis M. Cavanaugh. Mr. Langer has represented clients in a wide range of jurisdictions, including in the district courts of California, Delaware, New York, New Jersey, and Texas, where intellectual property cases are prevalent and for which local patent rules must be adhered to.
Mr. Langer is committed to pro bono representation of clients that need legal help but cannot afford or access it. Recently, after seven years of litigation, Mr. Langer successfully obtained asylum for a woman and her husband from the Kyrgyz Republic on the basis of religious discrimination. Mr. Langer also counsels various artists and takes part in clinics in association with the organization Volunteer Lawyer for the Arts. Mr. Langer co-manages the firm’s Well & Good writing program, which teaches associates to develop sound writing principles while, at the same time, produces written work product for one of the firm’s partnering pro bono agencies.
Mr. Langer is the principal editor and contributor of the firm’s Hatch-Waxman Litigation quarterly newsletter, GENERICally Speaking, which reports on recently filed ANDA lawsuits, ANDA approvals, generic drug launches, relevant settlements, and case blurbs on meaningful court decisions. Finally, Mr. Langer serves as the Hiring Partner for the firm’s New York office.
