David Wildman specializes in complex transactions involving technology, intellectual property, and data. In this role, he regularly advises clients on issues relating to data commercialization, IP licensing, software development, and information technology services (such as cloud services, IT procurement, and outsourcing). David, who is a registered Patent Attorney and former electrical engineer, also advises on the intellectual property aspects of mergers, acquisitions, and strategic investments. David represents clients in a wide array of industries, including health technology, travel, and finance.

In addition to his broader practice, David is a member of Covington’s Digital Health Initiative. In that capacity, he counsels pharmaceutical, medical device, and technology companies on the complex commercial and intellectual property considerations that arise at the intersection of information technology, life sciences, and healthcare. These considerations include patient privacy and data security, ownership of data and derived insights, service levels, the development and exploitation of “Big Data” analytical tools and predictive models, and FDA-readiness, as well as other commercial issues that arise when entering into a partnership, collaboration or other strategic arrangement with participants in the digital health sector.

David also has extensive experience in the management and strategic development of patent portfolios in a variety of technical disciplines, which he leverages to help clients develop holistic intellectual property strategies that align to business objectives.

Before joining the firm, David worked at another leading law firm prosecuting patent applications in the U.S. and abroad, representing clients in post-grant proceedings at the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO), conducting due diligence analyses, and rendering opinions on patent validity, infringement, and freedom-to-operate. David holds a degree in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University and obtained his J.D. from New York University School of Law. Prior to his legal career, David worked as a wireless design engineer in the mobile device industry.
