Mr. Rizk brings a unique combination of technical knowledge and experience, strategic insight, and exceptional legal skill to his work as a patent transactions attorney and IP litigator.

He uses that knowledge to help develop and successfully implement complex patent enforcement strategies which include global negotiations and litigation proceedings.
Mr. Rizk leads litigation teams at the International Trade Commission, enforcing patents against global manufacturers on behalf of patent owners ranging from entities with small portfolios to those owning thousands of patent families. This often includes leading interdisciplinary teams of technologists, expert witnesses, and litigators; coordinating complex international discovery; and examining witnesses and delivering oral argument at trial.

Through these efforts he creates consistent strategy for all cases, and enables the strongest outcome across all proceedings.
From among client patent holdings, Mr. Rizk helps clients identify the patents which have the greatest market potential, and devises and implements company-by-company monetization strategies based on the characteristics of individual infringers and their products.
