LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Miller Barondess, LLP adds top patent and trade secret litigator Ben Herbert to its partnership, continuing the expansion of the firm's Intellectual Property practice.

Herbert, an experienced trial lawyer, focuses his practice on patent infringement and trade secret misappropriation litigation. Adding his patent expertise to the IP team further enhances the firm's already robust IP practice and solidifies its position as a powerhouse in IP litigation. As co-leaders of the firm's IP practice, Herbert and partner Sasha Frid will help clients navigate the broad landscape of intellectual property issues they face.

Herbert has a record of success representing plaintiffs in intellectual property trials, having been a key member of three trial teams that secured more than $1.5 billion in jury verdicts in the span of two years. He has litigated complex patent and trade secret cases involving diverse technologies, including digital radios, medical devices, computer software and hardware, graphics processors, bitcoin mining, portable power generation, and satellite technology. He also has significant experience representing clients in Patent Office proceedings, including inter partes review, and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
