Biography

Alden Harris’ litigation experience spans a variety of technical fields. These include electrical and computer engineering, telecommunications, and biochemistry, and he’s put this knowledge to use litigating patent infringement cases in courts across the United States.

Mr. Harris previously served as a law clerk to the Honorable Roy Payne of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in Marshall, Texas, and served as an acting law clerk to District Judge Rodney Gilstrap. During his time there, the Marshall Division was one of the busiest federal courts in the United States with nearly half of all U.S. patent cases being filed there. Mr. Harris assisted with multiple jury trials in intellectual property, products liability, and civil rights. He also assisted with dozens of claim construction hearings.

Mr. Harris attended Texas A&M University, earning a B.S. in Physics before earning his J.D. from the University of Texas School of Law. He is licensed to practice in the State of Texas, the United States district courts for the Eastern and Southern districts of Texas, the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

Client Testimonials

Alden is an outstanding attorney. He is highly intelligent, very detail oriented, cost conscious, and leaves no stone unturned. I have worked with Alden for a number of years and we have been quite successful. When he was a young attorney, he clerked for one of the busiest patent litigation judges in the country which left him with a broad perspective on what outcomes might be expected.
