Alexandra "Lexie" White — Patent Litigation Practice Summary
Specialty / focus areas. White is a Houston-based trial lawyer at Susman Godfrey LLP whose patent practice centers on telecommunications and wireless standards — 3G/4G/LTE technologies, standard-essential patents (SEPs), and FRAND licensing disputes — along with consumer electronics, mobile devices/chipsets, and smart-home/HVAC technology. Her litigation work spans both patent infringement and closely related contract and licensing disputes, and her broader docket is general high-stakes commercial litigation (insurance, energy, environmental, and contract matters). Publicly reported engagements include SEP/FRAND royalty trials, patent licensing enforcement campaigns, and suits against handset, chipset, and consumer-electronics makers.
Side preference. The tracked data show a plaintiff-side practice: 1 plaintiff appearance, 0 defendant appearances, with White acting as counsel. That is consistent with her publicly reported patent work, which is predominantly plaintiff-side representation of licensing entities and technology owners — 3G Licensing/Orange, the Dutch carrier KPN (Koninklijke KPN N.V.), the Boston licensing firm Sky Technologies, and an individual-inventor-owned IP licensing company. Firm and client materials describe her commercial practice as covering "clients on both sides of the 'v.'" in non-patent matters, but in patent litigation her verified profile is that of a plaintiff's-side licensing enforcer rather than a defense-side representative of operating companies.
Firm context. White has practiced at Susman Godfrey since law school, joining after graduating and now serving as a partner and member of the firm's executive committee. No prior law-firm history is indicated; her practice has been built within Susman Godfrey's Houston office. (She clerked for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit before joining the firm.)
Notable cases and outcomes (verified via firm profiles, Law360, Reuters/Law.com reporting).
- Koninklijke KPN N.V. v. Ericsson (E.D. Tex., 2022): co-led trial team; jury awarded $31.5M in past and future royalties, finding willful infringement (firm reported the verdict was worth more than $100M including future royalties; the court declined to enhance damages). White handled openings and closings.
- 3G Licensing SA et al. v. HTC Corp. (D. Del., 2023): lead trial counsel; unanimous jury verdict of $8.97M (74 cents per infringing device against HTC's FRAND argument of under two cents), with a finding of willfulness.
- KPN v. Samsung (Harrison County, Tex., 2024): lead trial counsel in a breach-of-license-agreement action; jury verdict reported at $287M by Law.com, with the firm describing a $341M judgment.
- Sky Technologies patent licensing campaign (~$70M): litigation against SAP, Siemens AG, and Microsoft, with settlements on the eve of and during trial. A client reference letter states the matter included two Federal Circuit appeals and a Supreme Court cert denial; this is client-attributed rather than independently confirmed.
- Individual-inventor licensing campaign (~$60M) over wireless technology used in mobile devices and smart TVs, plus follow-on actions against Google, Vizio, Nintendo, and Roku.
PTAB / IPR experience. No regular PTAB practice is evident from available sources. Public reporting notes that Ericsson filed IPRs against KPN patents in connection with the Ericsson litigation, but I found no verified record of White personally appearing in IPR/PGR proceedings; district-court trial practice appears to be her primary focus.
Bar / education. J.D., Louisiana State University Paul M. Hebert Law Center (2004); licensed in Texas; former law clerk to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Tracked case note. She is recorded as counsel for the plaintiff in EcoFactor, Inc. v. Resideo Technologies, Inc. (W.D. Tex., Judge Albright), a smart-thermostat/energy-management patent suit that survived a venue-transfer motion. I could not independently verify her specific docket appearance on the public filings I reviewed (plaintiff's counsel of record in EcoFactor's Waco campaign is generally listed as Russ August & Kabat), so I defer to the tracked appearance data on that point rather than characterizing the outcome.
