Profile

Rajvinder is an experienced IP litigator who specialises in advising clients in complex patent disputes, particularly in the electronics, telecommunications, and software sectors.

Notably, Rajvinder was involved in the landmark SEP/FRAND licensing case Unwired Planet v Huawei, giving him particular insight and expertise in disputes involving patent and competition law issues.
