In addition to intellectual property cases, Mike has tried cases involving breach of contract disputes, unfair competition, probate and will contests, products liability cases involving complex scientific evidence, employment disputes, and civil rights issues.

He is also a certified instructor for the National Institute of Trial Advocacy (NITA), and a lead faculty member of GT's Litigation Academy, which provides intensive in-house training programs in jury trials, expert witness preparation, deposition practice, motion practice and mediation.

In 2011, Mike was named to IAM magazine's “Patent Litigation 250: The World’s Leading Patent Litigators,” based on peer and client interviews. IAM wrote: “Experienced trial attorney Michael Nicodema is the key contact in New Jersey. Clients think extremely highly of him: “He gets us results we cannot get from other attorneys. He is always well prepared, addresses the core issues very well and persuades the court effectively on our behalf.” In 2012, IAM published an expanded list of the 1000 “World’s Leading Patent Practitioners,” and Mike was once again named to the list. IAM wrote about Mike: “He is a ‘totally prepared and accomplished storyteller’ in court and proves ‘equally adept at explaining the intricacies of the technology and the law to business folk.’” In 2013 and 2014, IAM again ranked Mike as a top intellectual property litigator, writing in 2013 that “Michael Nicodema tries a lot of patent cases; his dynamic narrative style plays very well with juries.”
