Jovial concentrates his practice on patent litigation and counseling matters and has a technical background in biomedical and environmental health engineering. Clients laud his “great eye for detail” and his ability to “see the bigger commercial aspects and strategic goals.”

Jovial routinely assists clients in the fields of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, and other health care products. He also advises clients on matters related to the Hatch-Waxman Act, the BPCIA, and other regulatory issues, as well as in the development of strategic plans to successfully obtain FDA approval and commercialize drug and biologic products. Jovial has litigated cases in U.S. district courts, in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the District of Columbia Circuit, and in the U.S Supreme Court, as well as before the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board.

Jovial’s patent litigation experience is focused primarily on the pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotechnology industries. This includes cases involving the following drug and biologic products: vancomycin, regadenoson, liraglutide, pegfilgrastim, obeticholic acid, sitagliptin, rifaximin, eluxadoline, buprenorphine/naloxone, sugammadex, ivacaftor, rituximab, lurasidone, apremilast, canagliflozin, dolutegravir, dimethyl fumarate, efinaconazole, empagliflozin, abiraterone, phentermine/topiramate, minocycline, palonosetron, colchicine, doripenem, zoledronic acid, daptomycin, clopidogrel, atomoxetine, docetaxel, and oxaliplatin. Jovial has also handled medical device cases involving artificial hip replacement systems, epinephrine and insulin injector devices, and spinal implants, as well as biotechnology cases involving glyphosate-resistant crops and the production of phytases for use in cereal foods and feeds.

Jovial also co-chairs the Winston Asian Leadership Initiative at the firm and is a member of the Opportunity & Inclusion Committee.

Jovial was recognized in IAM Patent 1000 (2020-2024), which noted that “his technical background...is of great value to players in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device fields,” recognized him for his “resounding victories,” in biosimilar litigation and his “refined skillset in pharmaceutical PTAB practice,” and  as a “first-class lawyer technically and strategically, with an enormous depth of experience.” In addition, he was recognized in The Legal 500 U.S. for patent litigation in 2015 and as a “Key Lawyer” in 2021 and 2024.
