Sandra Badin focuses her patent practice on appeals before the Federal Circuit and high-priority motions in the federal district courts and the U.S. International Trade Commission. She has represented clients in many different technology fields with patents covering radio frequency transceivers, graphics processing units, LCD displays, medical records processing systems, electronic point-of-sale systems, high-density plasma cutting torches, dental materials and processes, specialty fabrics, and financial and business methods. Sandra crafts winning appellate briefs and dispositive motions by translating complex technical information into simple, clear prose lay readers can understand, and by presenting difficult, fact-intensive arguments cogently and persuasively.
Sandra also maintains an active pro bono practice. She serves as co-chair of the Amicus Committees of both the Boston Patent Law Association and the Women’s Bar Association and has co-authored amicus briefs to the United States Supreme Court and state supreme courts across the country on behalf of non-profit organizations including the ACLU, the ASPCA, the BPLA, the National Network to End Domestic Violence, the American Jewish Congress, the Anti-Defamation League, and US Inventor, Inc.
While in law school, Sandra held an Edmond J. Safra Graduate Fellowship in Ethics at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, and served as a judicial extern to Justice Lorene B. Ferguson of the Navajo Nation Supreme Court. She also served as a teaching assistant to Professors Frank Michelman, Alan Dershowitz, Stephen J. Gould, and Heather Gerken, as a research assistant to several of her professors, and as a senior thesis adviser to undergraduates in the Government and Social Studies Departments at Harvard College.
