About
Armon builds his practice around a simple principle: do right by your clients and the results follow. That belief shows up in how he practices with precision, care, and an unwavering focus on what actually matters to the people and companies he represents.
-
That principle shows up directly in litigation, a major focus of Armon’s practice. He represents both plaintiffs and defendants in federal courts nationwide. This includes the Federal Circuit and district courts in various states like Georgia, Delaware, Texas, California, and Washington. He recently helped secure a decisive summary judgment victory in Delaware, bringing a four-year, high-stakes patent litigation to a close on the eve of trial by demonstrating non-infringement of the opposing patents. He has also guided clients to favorable resolutions through consent judgments and permanent injunctions, success trademark oppositions, and through cease-and-desist letters. His docket also includes trade secret disputes under the Defend Trade Secrets Act, giving clients a steady hand across the full range of IP threats they face. Armon’s approach in the courtroom reflects the same conviction that shapes his practice as a whole: sound preparation and credibility with the court are what win cases, not gamesmanship.
That courtroom work rests on deep technical grounding and prosecution experience. Armon practices across the full spectrum of intellectual property law, with particular depth in patent prosecution spanning the mechanical, electrical, and software technology fields. Before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, he has drafted a number of successful petitions for inter partes review and requests for reexamination, and he brings hands-on experience from trials before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board to bear on the litigation and negotiation strategies he builds for clients. His technical range is broad: medical devices, wind turbines, heavy machinery, manufacturing processes, optical fiber and lenses, wireless communication protocols, telecommunication networking, video compression, encryption algorithms, virtualized computing, surveillance systems, and data-center management, among many others.
What sets Armon apart is not just the breadth of his experience, but how he carries it. Clients come to him in moments that matter to their business, and he treats every one of those moments as his own. He listens first, counsels honestly, and litigates hard only where it truly serves the client’s interest. Armon’s guiding principle is that good outcomes are built on good lawyering. He tells clients the truth even when they do not want to hear it, because he trusts that principled representation is what ultimately protects them best.
Armon honed his intellectual property skills at respected firms, including Finnegan, before building his own practice and later joining Pierson Ferdinand.
