Mechanical Engineering

Bryan Nese is a partner in the Intellectual Property group of Mayer Brown’s Washington DC, office. Nese’s practice focuses on complex patent litigation, both in district court and at the International Trade Commission (ITC). He has been a crucial part of trial teams before juries and at the ITC and has assisted in all aspects of discovery, trial preparation, and post-trial filings. Nese has particular expertise in advising clients on how IP assets can fit into an affirmative recovery plan, including strategies for monetizing robust patent portfolios.

A registered patent attorney, he is also well-versed in handling the technical aspects of patent litigation. Nese’s technical experience extends to a broad range of technologies, including computer products and peripherals, image sensors, automotive technology, medical devices, electromechanical devices, and consumer products. During his engineering graduate studies, he conducted combustion research at Penn State’s Propulsion Engineering Research Center. Nese’s research focused on the simulation of homogeneous-charge compression-ignition (HCCI) combustion processes and hydrogen fuel blends in automotive vehicles.

As an undergraduate engineering student, he led multi-disciplinary teams to design and construct devices such as fuel cells, underwater remotely operated vehicles, and guitar effects pedals. In 2004, he graduated magna cum laude from Rowan University with a degree in mechanical engineering. While at Rowan, he earned a presidential scholarship, and was inducted in the Golden Key International Honors Society, Order of Omega, and Tau Beta Pi. Nese was also active member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Alpha Chi Rho Fraternity, and Rowan Radio. He is currently a member of the Rowan Engineering Advisory Council.
