SPEAKER’S BIO
Chris de Mauny, Partner, Bird & Bird
Chris de Mauny is a patent litigation specialist based in San Francisco. He advises clients from a range of industries including tech, life sciences and sustainable technologies. He is licensed to practice law in England & Wales and registered as a Foreign Legal Consultant with the State Bar of California.
Chris advises on all forms of intellectual property litigation, principally patent litigation. In 2018 he was identified as a ‘rising star’ for patent litigation by Managing Intellectual Property and again in 2019. In 2019 he was referred to as a ‘key lawyer’ within Bird & Bird’s London patent litigation team by Legal 500. In 2020, he was recognized as a ‘Rising Star’ for patents by Expert Guides, a peer-nominated international guide to lawyers, Legal 500 and MIP.

In April 2024, Chris relocated to San Francisco to co-head Bird & Bird’s office which brings our European and Asia-Pac expertise to US soil. Bird & Bird does not – and Chris does not – provide legal advice on Californian or any other US law.
Chris has represented a range of clients from multinational corporations to individual traders in disputes involving patents, trademarks and passing off, design rights, copyright, and rights in confidential and/or private information.
