Gina Johnson, the Chief Legal Officer of The Ridge Wallet LLC, recently made the move in-house after eight years as a patent litigator in the Chicago office of K&L Gates LLP. While in private practice, Gina managed a wide range of patent litigation cases and in particular found her niche as the lead attorney on all damages and discovery related issues. Gina worked on both plaintiff’s side and defensive damages models for lost profits, reasonable royalties, and unjust enrichment, among others. Gina is looking forward to continuing to use her extensive experience as in-house counsel for Ridge, which is in the middle of an active assertion campaign of its own intellectual property, including both utility, design patents, trademarks, and copyrights.
