Troutman Sanders Continues Expanding Intellectual Property Bench

IRVINE, Ca. – March 28, 2016 – Troutman Sanders LLP announced today that Jennifer Trusso has joined the firm’s Intellectual Property practice as a partner in the Orange County office. She comes to the firm from Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP.

Trusso has solid lead counsel experience in both trial and appellate courts. In addition to handling patent infringement and patent licensing litigation, she has handled cases involving other types of business and intellectual property disputes, including trademark, copyright and trade secret litigation.

Trusso is very involved in the business and legal community. She holds leadership positions in the Hispanic National Bar Association and the Board of the Orange County Chapter of the Federal Bar Association. In addition, she recently received the Mary V.
