Alexis K. Juergens

I'll research this attorney before drafting the summary.

Let me verify the tracked case and check for PTAB/other proceedings.

Alexis K. Juergens — patent litigation summary

Focus areas. Ms. Juergens is a Salt Lake City–based IP litigator whose patent work has centered on enterprise software. Her one tracked patent case, Wapp Tech Ltd. Partnership et al. v. Micro Focus International PLC (E.D. Tex. No. 4:18-cv-469), involved patents covering technology for designing and testing mobile-device applications, asserted against the defendants' application testing and delivery management products (LoadRunner and Performance Center). Her firm bio lists additional technology experience in home fitness technology, robotic process automation, home automation and security, IoT, automotive, solar, and fashion and beauty, alongside non-patent work in trademark, trade dress, false advertising, copyright, and trade secrets. She also lists ITC Section 337 proceedings as a practice area, on both the enforcement and defense sides.

Side preference. The tracked data is defense-leaning: zero plaintiff-side and one defendant-side appearance, as lead counsel. That single case is too thin a sample to establish a real preference, and her firm biography describes a two-way practice—protecting clients' own innovations while defending them against infringement claims—so her current docket likely includes both enforcement and defense work, with the documented patent trial role on the defense side.

Firm context. The Wapp Tech appearance was filed while she was at Maschoff Brennan, the Salt Lake City IP boutique she joined out of law school (she has said she moved to Foley & Lardner as a lateral after roughly five years at the boutique). She is now Senior Counsel in Foley's Salt Lake City office, a member of the firm's IP Litigation, Patent Litigation, and Trademark/Copyright & Advertising Litigation practice groups, and chair of the firm's associates committee.

Notable case and outcomes. In Wapp Tech v. Micro Focus, she was a member of the Maschoff Brennan defense trial team (with Jared Braithwaite, Rex Sears, Sterling Brennan, and Trevor Clark) for the Micro Focus subsidiary defendants. The March 2021 Sherman Division jury returned a $172.5 million willful-infringement verdict for Wapp—reported as the largest verdict in that courthouse's history. The court declined to enhance damages in April 2021, and the case was resolved by settlement and dismissed with prejudice in November 2021 following mediation before retired Judge David Folsom. No other litigation results for her were verified in public sources.

PTAB / IPR. I found no public record of Ms. Juergens appearing as counsel in IPR, PGR, or other PTAB proceedings; her tracked practice is district court (and, per her bio, ITC) work. This may reflect a genuine gap in practice rather than a gap in the sources, but it should be treated as unverified.

Bar and education. Admitted in Utah (2018); also admitted before the Federal Circuit, the Eastern and Western Districts of Texas, and the District of Utah. J.D., high honors, University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law (2018); B.S., magna cum laude, Northern Arizona University (2015).
