Josh Glucoft

Josh Glucoft is an intellectual property attorney in the Los Angeles office of Kirkland & Ellis LLP. How Josh adds value:

• Josh was a management consultant before becoming a lawyer, so he has a particularly strong appreciation of the fact that patent strategy is business strategy and must be contextualized within the organization's overarching goals regarding things like budgeting, product development, and branding.
• Josh is not just a lawyer, he is also a manager, and he embraces both roles. Josh works hard on the blocking and tackling needed to support the highest-quality lawyering in the most efficient manner.
• Josh lives and breathes patents. Every morning, Josh wakes up and reads at least a trio of major patent newsletters (Law360, PatentlyO, and Docket Navigator) in order to stay on top of the fast-changing body of law. 

Josh has litigated and performed due diligence on patents covering a variety of technologies within the fields of electrical engineering and computer science, including: antivirus software; medical devices such as cardiac defibrillators; entertainment technology such as virtual reality and special effects; networking technology such as routers and switches; microprocessor architecture; and semiconductor fabrication and packaging.

Josh has experience in District Courts across the country, including in all of the major venues for patent litigation. Josh is also a registered patent attorney with extensive post-grant experience before the USPTO, including serving as lead counsel in multiple inter partes review proceedings.
