Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP is expanding its Intellectual Property & Technology Practice with the addition of Vivek Ganti as of counsel in the firm's Atlanta office. Ganti joins from Hill, Kertscher & Wharton and focuses his practice on patent litigation.

"We are thrilled to welcome Vivek to our IP team," said Robert A. King, an IP shareholder in the firm’s Atlanta office. "His extensive experience counseling clients on how to build patent portfolios that align with strategic and business objectives will be a tremendous asset to Greenberg Traurig's growing patent team here in Atlanta."

Ganti's patent litigation practice involves developing infringement, invalidity, and claim construction strategies as well as engaging in discovery, motion drafting, and taking/defending depositions. His experience includes representing clients in matters pertaining to patent enforcement and defense, post grant review, and patent prosecution.

Throughout his career, Ganti has prosecuted hundreds of patent applications before the U.S. Patent and Trademark office. His clients include small companies seeking to protect their core technology, larger companies desiring to maintain their growth as innovators, and companies interested in developing patent portfolios for licensing or litigation purposes.

"I was drawn to Greenberg Traurig's entrepreneurial approach to patent work, coupled with their deep understanding of the intellectual property sector," Ganti said. "I'm excited to continue to grow my practice and join an innovative team known for their commitment to client service."

Ganti was named a Rising Star by Georgia Super Lawyers in 2018 and 2019 and recognized in Georgia Trend's Legal Elite in 2017 and 2018. He received his J.D. from Santa Clara University and his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Davis.
