The Firm’s David Clonts is featured in The Texas Lawbook discussing the resurgence of patent litigation filings in Texas during the first six months of 2020.
“Patent infringement cases are increasing because fewer patent claims are being thrown out administratively by PTAB [Patent Trial and Appeal Board],” Clonts said. “Lots of patent claims have been sitting on the sidelines waiting to be enforced.”
The article notes that patent claims in the four federal court districts in Texas doubled during the first six months of 2020 compared to the same period last year, and that the number of filings was twice as many as any other state.
