A patent attorney with more than 25 years in the field, Mr. Barceló pairs deep technical and courtroom experience with a modern, technology-driven practice. Most firms in this space are still talking about AI. His practice is already using it, building AI-assisted systems that make sophisticated IP protection faster, more affordable, and accessible to a far wider range of businesses than the traditional law firm model allowed.

That combination is especially powerful for online sellers. Mr. Barceló and his team help Amazon, Walmart, and direct-to-consumer brands protect their products, defend against infringement claims and bad-faith complaints, enforce their rights against copycats, and navigate the new wave of AI-related advertising and listing rules. Work that was once out of reach for a smaller brand is now something the firm can deliver efficiently and at scale. The same firepower that has defended microprocessor and pacemaker patents now stands behind a growing brand's first trademark or patent.

Mr. Barceló's patent work spans diverse technical areas, including computer hardware and software, communication networks, telephony, radar, signal processing, electrical and electronic medical devices, Internet-related applications, semiconductors, image and video compression, and analog circuits. He is regularly called upon to assess intellectual property portfolios, evaluate the strength of competitors' portfolios, negotiate and draft licenses, and conduct infringement and validity analyses, and his practice focuses on the acquisition, protection, licensing, and litigation of intellectual property.

REPRESENTATIVE LEGAL EXPERIENCE

Mr. Barceló serves on his clients' litigation teams, often as lead counsel on patent issues. He has defended against charges of patent infringement for some of the world's best-known companies in the fields of microprocessor architecture, hard disk drives, semiconductor packaging, printers, video game distribution systems, and cardiac pacemakers.

He has also asserted patents relating to plasma displays, digital video recorders, and semiconductor circuits, and has prepared and prosecuted patent applications for Internet-based mapping applications, video signal processing, and software simulator/debugger systems.

He has taught a course on International Intellectual Property Transactions at Stanford Law School as an Adjunct Professor.
