Jordan T. Bergsten

Jordan has an established track record of success handling complex intellectual property litigation between competitors in patent law.

He has significant experience preparing and presenting fact witnesses at trial on both the plaintiff and defense side and is highly skilled at crafting compelling narratives in high-stakes jury trials. Jordan also frequently cross-examines both expert and fact witnesses in patent trials.

Throughout his career, Jordan has become well-versed in a variety of technologies, such as telephony, online video, video game systems, outdoor sporting equipment and accessories, athletic garments, power grids, optical equipment, and software encryption.

In addition, he has experience litigating trade secret misappropriation, breach of contract, trademark, and copyright infringement issues. Not limited to jury trials, Jordan’s practice also includes conducting and defending depositions at every level across a broad range of IP-related issues.

Before becoming a lawyer, Jordan volunteered as an Americorps VISTA with Pro Bono Net and Montana Legal Services. In this role, he collaborated with law firms, national nonprofits, and software developers to integrate new technology for delivering legal information to traditionally underserved communities.

Admitted to practice in Missouri only; supervised by a member of the District of Columbia Bar.
