About David
David Haber took a steady path into law from science. He earned a B.S. in Biological Anthropology and Anatomy from Duke University in 2000 and a J.D. from Columbia Law School in 2003. Those credentials shaped how he approaches technical and legal problems. They also positioned him for work that spans courts and agency proceedings.
He began his legal career the same year he left Columbia, joining Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP as an associate in 2003. That early period was spent in a large-firm environment where federal court practice and complex filings are the norm. Over time he moved into private practice and took on a partnership role at Cobert Haber & Haber, LLP. His career path reflects a move from a national law firm to a smaller shop where he could handle matters end to end.
Haber is admitted to practice in New York and is listed for practice before several federal forums. Those include the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and the Federal Circuit. That set of admissions indicates routine involvement in both district court litigation and agency proceedings.
His undergraduate study in biology-related fields complements his work before the Patent Office and on appeals to the Federal Circuit. The background gives him familiarity with technical concepts that often arise in patent prosecution and disputes. Over the years he has combined that technical grounding with courtroom practice and filings at the USPTO to advise clients on patent-related questions.
At Cobert Haber & Haber, LLP he serves as a lawyer and partner. He handles matters that require coordination among trial courts, federal appellate practice, and administrative proceedings at the Patent Office. Clients see him for patent prosecution tasks and for litigation in federal court, including appellate work. He maintains an active practice in these areas and continues to represent clients before the USPTO and in federal courts, including appeals at the Federal Circuit.
He currently focuses his practice on patent prosecution and federal patent litigation.
