His strategic approach makes him the go-to for patent prosecution, infringement clearance, ex parte reexaminations and inter partes reviews, and other patent-related matters.
Jason Cooper is the past chair of Alston & Bird’s Intellectual Property Area, with emphasis in mechanical, manufacturing, and medical device technologies, and is also the past chair of the firm’s Partners Committee.

He counsels clients on avoiding the infringement of others’ patents and opines on infringement and/or validity of individual patents or advises on strategy for avoiding others’ patent portfolios.
Jason regularly prepares and prosecutes patent applications before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and is experienced in all aspects of ex parte and inter partes patent practice, including examiner interviews, third-party submissions, appeals, interferences, reexaminations and reissues, inter partes reviews (IPR), and instructing foreign patent attorneys in opposition proceedings before the European Patent Office. For eight consecutive years, 2017–2024, Jason has been named one of the world’s foremost IP strategists by Intellectual Asset Management’s “IAM Strategy 300 – The World’s Leading IP Strategists,” which says that Jason “never produces anything less than top-quality work in prosecution, IP commercialisation, and disputes.”
