Alexander Boyer Bio

Alexander (Alex) Boyer focuses on patent litigation, post-grant proceedings, and appeals to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. He represents clients in proceedings involving various technologies, including computer software, automotive electronics, medical devices, acoustics, and signal processing, as well as financial technologies. Alex has experience in all stages of district court litigation, including pre-filing investigations; taking and defending depositions; drafting dispositive motions and claim construction briefs; working with experts to prepare expert reports; and arguing in court, including taking testimony in jury trials. Additionally, Alex litigates post-grant proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), including inter partes reviews (IPRs) and post-grant reviews (PGRs), on behalf of both petitioners and patent owners. Many of the patents involved in these proceedings have been asserted in co-pending district court actions. Alex’s post-grant proceeding experience extends from briefing to serving as primary arguing counsel during PTAB trials. He has also appeared and prepared briefs in several appeals to the Federal Circuit from PTAB and district court decisions. Prior to joining Finnegan, Alex was a mechanical engineer for The Boeing Company. He supported several commercial and military aerospace programs, providing structural analysis support and testing. As part of his work, Alex gained experience in air frame design and impact modeling. He was also a member of Boeing’s NASA shuttle support team, assessing debris impacts on the space shuttle during launches. Alex brings this extensive industry and technical experience from the aerospace industry to bear for his clients every day in his practice. Alex is passionate and engaged in pro bono work, devoting his time to veterans in appeals to the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. While in law school, Alex served as a staff editor for Volume 87 of the Temple Law Review.
