Allan A. Joseph — Patent Litigation Practice Summary

Specialty / focus. Joseph is a Miami-based commercial litigator whose practice centers on business disputes, complex commercial litigation, insurance, real estate, and ADR, with intellectual property a secondary practice area (approximately 16% per his Avvo profile). His only tracked patent case, Data Health Partners, Inc. v. Teladoc Health, Inc. (D. Del., No. 1:23-cv-00160), places him in the healthcare-software space: Data Health asserted patents directed to server-based systems for tracking a client's progress toward goals, thresholds, and automated alerts against Teladoc's Livongo diabetes-management platform and Bluetooth glucose meter. There is no evidence of a broader patent docket (Wi-Fi standards, pharma, mechanical, etc.), and his firm profile frames him as a generalist trial lawyer rather than a technology-focused patent specialist.

Side preference. His one tracked appearance is plaintiff-side: he serves as lead counsel for patent owner Data Health Partners in an infringement action against operating company Teladoc. The record is too thin to infer a pattern, but the tracked matter aligns him with the patent-owner/plaintiff side, and the asserted patents suggest representation of a non-practicing patent owner. Public docket entries reflect a co-counsel team on that case including Susman Godfrey (Barry Barnett) as trial counsel and Farnan LLP as Delaware local counsel; Joseph's lead role per the tracked data appears to operate alongside that team.

Firm context / notable outcomes. Joseph is a founding member of Fuerst Ittleman David & Joseph (FIDJ), a roughly nine-lawyer Miami firm; no earlier firm history relevant to patent litigation is verifiable. In the tracked case, a notable verified result came in May 2024 when Judge Jennifer Choe-Groves denied Teladoc's motion to dismiss, holding the representative claim directed to patent-eligible subject matter under Alice step one (non-abstract "improvement in the monitoring of patient goals and outcomes"), while dismissing only the pre-suit willful-infringement allegations. The case remains pending (latest docket activity September 2025).

PTAB / IPR experience. The underlying dispute has spawned parallel IPRs (Teladoc v. Data Health, e.g., IPR2024-00616/617/618 and IPR2026-00391), including a September 2024 Board decision denying institution on the '812 patent. However, I could not verify that Joseph personally appeared in those PTAB proceedings, so his own IPR/PGR experience should not be assumed from the docket record.

Bar / education. University of Florida, B.S. in Business Administration (1988, high honors); George Washington University National Law Center, J.D. (1991); admitted Florida (1991), D.C. (1992), Colorado (1995), and the Eleventh Circuit; rated AV Preeminent and listed in Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers (commercial litigation).
