Vincent J. Galluzzo

High-stakes patent and trade secret cases are ultimately won or lost in the courtroom. Vince Galluzzo has spent his career there, trying cases to verdict before juries and judges in courts across the country and in arbitration proceedings, in disputes where the outcome mattered enormously to his clients.

What separates Vince from most trial lawyers is not just courtroom experience but also the technical depth he brings to it. He understands his clients’ technologies at a fundamental level, which allows him to build strategies grounded in how the technology actually works, and to explain those technologies to judges and juries with clarity and precision.

Vince's work is consistently recognized by leading legal directories and publications. Chambers USA ranks him in Intellectual Property, describing him as "an adept litigator who represents a range of clients from technical industries," with a practice spanning patent and trade secret trials, IPR proceedings before the PTAB, and appeals before the Federal Circuit. IAM Patent 1000 recommends Vince in both Trade Secret Litigation and Patent Litigation, noting he has "an instinct for treating litigation as a problem to be solved rather than simply managed." IAM further notes that he is "recognised for his willingness to engage early and set the tone of a case," that he "adopts front-footed strategies aimed at narrowing—and where possible disposing of—cases at an early stage," and that his "measured yet assertive style resonates with clients, who value his clear-headed decision-making under pressure." Litigation Daily (The American Lawyer) honored Vince and his trial team with a Litigator of the Week "Shout Out" for their patent trial win in the District of Delaware.

Vince’s clients describe those same qualities firsthand:

"Vincent deserves the highest recognition as a top tier, personable and intelligent attorney." — Client, as published in Chambers USA 2026

"I was very impressed by how concise, firm, calm and well-prepared [Vince's] oral arguments were." — In-house counsel, Fortune Global 100 company

Beyond the courtroom, Vince advises clients on trade secret protection, intellectual property monetization, and software licensing matters, including open-source compliance.

Vince is deeply committed to pro bono representation, having advocated for clients in a high-profile federal habeas corpus proceeding and in an Eighth Amendment civil rights action brought under the Civil Rights Act.
