Baker Hostetler announced today that R. Scott Feldmann has joined the firm’s Intellectual Property Group as a Partner in its Costa Mesa office. He comes to Baker Hostetler from Crowell & Moring LLP.

Feldmann focuses his practice on intellectual property litigation, especially applied to software, computers, and the Internet.
