Henry Koda And William L Androlia Have Joined DLA Piper
Henry Koda and William L Androlia have joined DLA Piper’s Intellectual Property & Technology practice as senior counsel in Tokyo and Los Angeles. They joined the firm from Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan. Koda, a Japanese authority on US patent law who has written 15 books and more than 150 articles, opened Quinn Emmanuel’s Tokyo office and is now manager of the Tokyo IP group at DLA Piper. His practice focuses on patent litigation/prosecution, and includes all aspects of international trade practice and high technology patent practice, including US-Japan patent, trademark and copyright litigations/applications, search, infringement analyses, and licensing. Androlia has an active international trade and high technology practice, including US-Japan patent, trademark, and copyright applications, searches, infringement analyses, licensing, and litigation.
 
In August, DLA Piper announced the addition of Richard de Bodo’s 20-member team to its IPT, patent litigation and patent prosecution practices in the US. The addition of Koda, Androlia and De Bodo’s team adds technical depth and experience to the firm’s electronics, life sciences, pharmaceutical, chemistry, biologics, and internet practices, and significant knowledge and experience in litigating and trying Hatch-Waxman and biologics cases. Matt Glynn, partner and head of IPT for Asia, Middle East and Africa, has recently relocated from the firm’s Dubai office to Hong Kong as part of the build-up of its Asia IP practice.
