Amy K. LoBue

I'll research this attorney's professional background before drafting.

Let me dig into the tracked case and her background.

Let me pull her Mintz bio and check the other docketed matters.

Amy K. LoBue — Patent Litigation Practice Summary

Specialty / focus. LoBue is an intellectual property associate at Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo (Boston), where the firm describes her practice as focused on patent litigation in federal district courts and before the International Trade Commission, serving technology and education/nonprofit clients. Her most visible matter involves video codec technology: the Ideahub appeal concerned U.S. Patent No. 11,122,274 (directional intra-prediction for video encoding/decoding), and the underlying PGR record ties the patent owner to the HEVC Advance/Access Advance licensing pool — i.e., video-compression standard/SEP-adjacent subject matter. She has also co-authored Mintz client commentary on standard-essential patent assertion at the ITC and on supercapacitor patent litigation, and is a registered patent practitioner (USPTO Reg. No. 81541), suggesting additional prosecution-adjacent exposure.

Side of the "v." The tracked data is thin — one appearance, on the plaintiff/appellant side as appellate counsel. That single matter is a patent-owner appeal from a PTAB unpatentability ruling, not an infringement complaint. Public dockets found through search indicate she has also appeared for defendants (e.g., pro hac vice in Mullen Industries LLC v. Samsung Electronics Co., E.D. Tex., and in RoadRunner Recycling, Inc. v. Recycle Track Systems, Inc., N.D. Cal.), so the better read is a mixed practice rather than a dedicated NPE/PAE prosecution shop or a pure operating-company defense practice. Because the tracked list contains only one entry, these additional appearances should be treated as web-sourced and independently verified; they are not reflected in the authoritative case list.

Notable cases and outcomes. Ideahub Inc. v. Unified Patents, LLC, No. 24-1684 (Fed. Cir.), is the flagship tracked matter. LoBue appeared on the Mintz appellate team alongside Michael C. Newman (who argued), Peter J. Cuomo, and James M. Wodarski, challenging the PTAB's final written decision in PGR2022-00044. The Federal Circuit affirmed on April 10, 2026, in a per curiam Rule 36 judgment (Judges Hughes and Stoll, with Chief Judge Seeborg sitting by designation), leaving all challenged claims of the '274 patent unpatentable. The Board had relied in part on collateral estoppel from the related IPR2020-00702 on the '849 patent, which the Federal Circuit affirmed in Ideahub Inc. v. Unified Patents, LLC, No. 2022-1160 (Fed. Cir. Feb. 10, 2023). Both outcomes went against her client; no favorable verdict or settlement is verifiable in the public record for her matters.

PTAB / IPR experience. She has appellate-side PTAB experience in post-grant proceedings (the Ideahub appeal arose from a PGR), and she co-authors Mintz's PTAB commentary on IPR institution practice, including posts in August 2025 and November 2025 with William A. Meunier, Peter J. Cuomo, and Kevin C. Amendt. That is meaningful but not evidence of a high-volume personal IPR practice; no practitioner-level PTAB filing statistics for her were located.

Bar / education. Not reliably sourced. Searches did not confirm her state bar admissions or law school, so those details are omitted. What is verifiable is her USPTO registration as a patent practitioner (Reg. No. 81541) and her Mintz associate title and Boston office.
