Alexandra P. Stanley

I'll research this attorney to verify background and practice details.

Professional Summary — Alexandra P. Stanley (Stinson LLP)

Focus areas. Ms. Stanley's only tracked patent matter is the Competitive Access Systems ("CAS") dispute, which concerns networking/software patents — the DeLangis portfolio covering Multipath Transmission Control Protocol (MPTCP) and multipath communications, with claim charts mapping CAS's claims to RFC 8684 and Red Hat's Linux distribution. That is the sole basis in the data for a patent-technology profile; there is no tracked Wi-Fi-standards, pharmaceutical, or mechanical practice. Her published firm biography frames her practice around federal and state government enforcement actions and investigations (DOJ, SEC, FINRA, PCAOB, CFTC), securities matters, compliance, and complex business litigation — not patent prosecution or patent-first litigation. Her only third-party litigation recognition found is Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch 2026 in "Litigation – Securities," which reinforces that patent work is not her described core.

Side preference. The tracked count is 0 plaintiff-side and 1 defendant-side appearance. The posture of that matter is worth noting: CAS is a patent-owning licensing entity (the district court described it as monetizing patents through licensing) and was the defendant in the action, so the single appearance was defense-side but on behalf of the patent-asserting party, in a declaratory-judgment/injunctive action. With one appearance, no reliable inference about a plaintiff-versus-defendant preference in patent matters can be drawn; the stronger conclusion is that she is a general commercial/white-collar litigator whose docket has touched one patent-adjacent case, not a dedicated patent litigator.

Firm context. She joined Stinson LLP's Minneapolis office in August 2024 as an associate, initially announced in the firm's Financial Services and Class Action Practice Division, with later firm materials referencing its Business Litigation and White Collar Criminal Defense & Special Investigations practices. Before Stinson she worked at two Am Law 20 firms in Washington, D.C., handling government enforcement matters; the firm's bio does not name those firms. Note the name is not unique in this space — Alexandra J. Stanley of Sullivan & Cromwell (Los Angeles) also appears in patent dockets and is a different attorney.

Notable matter. The tracked case appears as Undisclosed Petitioner v. Competitive Access Systems Inc. (defendant, Stinson). Law360's attorney page for Ms. Stanley also lists Red Hat, Inc. v. Competitive Access Systems, Inc., No. 5:24-cv-00505-D-BM (E.D.N.C., filed Sept. 3, 2024), in which CAS is the defendant. In that case the court denied CAS's motion to dismiss on June 12, 2025, finding specific personal jurisdiction and a plausibly pleaded claim under the North Carolina Abusive Patent Assertions Act, while also entertaining Red Hat's declaratory-judgment claims on seven CAS patents. I could not verify from a primary court filing precisely what role she played in the matter, and the "Undisclosed Petitioner" caption in the tracked data is not reconciled in the sources I reviewed.

PTAB / IPR. No verified IPR or PGR appearances. The parallel PTAB proceedings involving the same patents (Red Hat's IPR2025-01370 through -01381, filed August 2025, and Unified Patents' IPR2023-00584) show other counsel of record — K&L Gates for CAS and Unified's in-house team — not Ms. Stanley. She does not appear on any mandatory notice or power of attorney I located.

Bar / education. Admitted in Minnesota and the District of Columbia; J.D., Georgetown University Law Center, 2018 (magna cum laude, Order of the Coif); B.A., University of Arizona, 2014. No patent-bar registration number was found.
