Kathi Vidal Biography

Kathi Vidal is a nationally-recognized IP litigator and Federal Circuit strategist. In addition to protecting innovative companies through offensive patent actions to preserve their market or through innovative strategies to efficiently resolve defensive patent actions, including in U.S. district courts, the International Trade Commission, and at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, she advises clients ranging from Fortune 100 companies to start-ups on their portfolios, patent prosecution, inter partes review, covered business methods, trade secrets, trademarks, and other intellectual property matters. Vidal has a background in electrical engineering and holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Binghamton University, a Master of Science degree from Syracuse University, and a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. She began her career as an engineer for General Electric and Lockheed Martin, specializing in artificial intelligence, software engineering, and circuitry.

Building on her Federal Circuit clerkship and her long-term involvement with the Federal Circuit Bar Association, for which Vidal now serves as a Fellow, she served as a law clerk for Judge Alvin Anthony Schall of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit from 1996 to 1997. She was a litigator at Fish & Richardson from 1997 to 2017, and from April 2017 to April 2022, Vidal was the Silicon Valley managing partner and patent litigator at Winston & Strawn. She has led or been called in as a strategist on dozens of Federal Circuit appeals, has argued numerous Federal Circuit appeals, and has teamed with former Federal Circuit judges and other national Federal Circuit specialists to mock appeals both inside and outside the firm. Vidal argued and won the seminal "SAP v. InvestPic" Federal Circuit appeal on patent eligibility and argued and won the follow-on attorney fee Federal Circuit appeal reinforcing the award of attorney fees under "Octane Fitness" in cases brought on weak patents. She has also led amicus efforts on important cases before the Federal Circuit and Supreme Court.

Vidal also advises on IP policies for standard-setting organizations, patent prosecution/portfolio development strategies, and strategies for worldwide patent disputes, including advising on national security, policy, and related issues. President Joe Biden nominated Vidal to be the next Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO. She was confirmed by the United States Senate and sworn in as the director of the USPTO on April 13, 2022, and as under secretary on April 19, 2022, positioning her at the forefront of intellectual property and patent law in the United States.
