About Joshua
Joshua Slavitt built his legal foundation at two well-regarded institutions. He earned a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1986 and completed his J.D. at Boston University School of Law in 1991. Those years framed a career that has centered on federal practice and intellectual property law.
He is licensed to practice in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and he holds admissions to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and the Federal Circuit. That federal admissions profile reflects a practice that often reaches beyond state courts into appellate and specialized patent forums.
Much of his work has dealt with patents and related disputes. He has handled matters that require both trial-level preparation and appellate briefing. His background in federal appeals, including cases before the Third Circuit and the Federal Circuit, has shaped how he approaches litigation strategy. He writes and argues in venues that demand a tight grasp of statutory schemes and precedent.
Over the years he has moved between courtroom work and counseling clients on intellectual property issues. That combination of litigation and advisory work informs how he evaluates risk and frames litigation objectives. He has experience directing case teams, preparing technical and legal analyses, and presenting complex issues to judges and opposing counsel.
In recent years he has operated through his own practice, Slavitt IP Law, LLC. There he manages engagements that range from patent enforcement and defense to appeals in specialized federal courts. The practice handles procedural work tied to federal rules and substantive disputes over patent scope and validity.
Clients in technology and related industries have sought his assistance in patent matters that cross district and appellate lines. He often coordinates the work necessary to move cases through early discovery, claim construction, and appellate stages. His approach emphasizes clear legal writing and careful attention to the technical record.
Outside the courtroom he maintains the continuing legal education and legal research that federal practice requires. He keeps current on precedent from the Federal Circuit and the Third Circuit, and applies that case law when advising clients. He currently practices at Slavitt IP Law, LLC, where he concentrates on patent litigation, federal appeals, and intellectual property counseling.
