Lisa L. Furby

Throughout her career, Lisa Furby has developed the skills needed to quickly master sophisticated technology and complex legal issues in the intellectual property field. Lisa can distill even the most technical issue into clear, concise, and easily understandable information for audiences with all levels of technical experience. She uses this skill to transform technically complicated facts and arguments into engaging stories for briefs, trial presentations, and oral arguments. But even as Lisa creates these compelling narratives, she keeps her focus on the big picture and the long-term strategy: developing a compelling record for the judge or jury on which to base their decision, and which preserves issues and postures the case for appeal.

One subject area in which Lisa has developed niche experience is §112 of the Patent Act. She has developed a reputation as a go-to lawyer for high-stakes matters involving issues related to the sufficiency of a patent's disclosure. Whether she is working on matters on which she is a regular team member, or as an internal advisor in the Firm, Lisa is in high demand for her insight on written description and enablement issues.

Lisa is also actively engaged in developing the next generation and especially in mentoring and supporting women who practice IP law. Lisa serves as a member of the Jones Day's "Women in IP" committee. She has also planned and participated in additional programs focused on mentoring junior associates, and particularly women, interested in IP litigation.
