And that’s a wrap! BRIDGE leveled up this year with 7 sessions, 6 CLE credits from the California State Bar, and attendees from 53 organizations.
LOT Network BRIDGE has come to be an event the industry looks forward to; no other industry event has the same insider content, the same quality of attendees and programming, the same opportunity for networking with peers and industry insiders.
Time and again, we hear consistent feedback: meeting on the fly with other members is invaluable – seeing and hearing from leaders in patents is priceless.
Thank you to our distinguished speaker lineup, including the honorable U.S. District of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Judge Alan Albright, who joined us as our keynote speaker, discussing the view from inside the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, patent case efficiency, the future of the PTAB, and Taylor Swift.
Other distinguished speakers included:
- Davis Wright Tremaine’s Mauricio Uribe, a strategic IP advisor with three decades of experience who has been repeatedly named to IAM’s lists of “The World’s Leading IP Strategists.”
- Hamilton IPV’s founder, Lew Zaretzki, bringing two decades of cellular SEP IP strategy expertise to the table, having worked with leading market participants across mobile licensing and patent transactions.
- Steven Geiszler, U.S. Chief Intellectual Property Counsel for Huawei, leads patent licensing, prosecution, litigation, and transactions from Dallas, with more than 160 patent lawsuits under his counsel.
- Ropes & Gray’s Evan Gourvitz who has contributed almost 35 years of cutting-edge Internet, digital, and tech experience.
- Sterne Kessler’s Tracy-Gene Durkin brings over thirty-five years of experience, for which she is widely recognized for her work in design patent law.
We were especially proud that this year’s BRIDGE was approved by the California State Bar for 6 CLE credits, affirming the practical and educational value of our sessions. From generative AI in practice to design patents, licensing trends, and SEP litigation, our agenda was designed to deliver actionable insights and timely discussions.
BRIDGE 2025 underscored what makes LOT Network unique: a collaborative community that not only protects companies from patent risk but also shares knowledge, connections, and ideas that strengthen the entire innovation ecosystem.
To our sponsors, speakers, and attendees — thank you for making this year’s event such a success. We can’t wait to see you at our upcoming programs and to continue building this community together.
