Andrew J. Wright

Summary — Andrew J. Wright

Andrew J. Wright is a registered patent attorney whose practice centers on patent enforcement and licensing disputes, almost entirely on the plaintiff / patent-owner side of the docket (2 of 2 tracked appearances are plaintiff-side). His technology mix skews toward software, wireless/communications, and computer-architecture cases — reflected in the tracked Flexiworld/Roku streaming-display litigation and, per practice databases, a large portfolio of software-security and communications matters — with occasional medical-device (Neuronetics) and financial-technology (DataTreasury) work. Historically he has represented NPE/PAE-style patent holders, including Flexiworld Technologies, 802 Systems, Adaptix, and Neuro and Cardiac Technologies.

Firm context and career. The tracked appearances are at Nelson Bumgardner Albritton P.C. (Fort Worth), where he was a partner from roughly 2018–2021. His earlier career was at Nix, Patterson & Roach (~6.5 years in its IP litigation/licensing group), followed by Bruster PLLC (2015–2018), a stint as general counsel to a patent licensing company in Southlake, and a return to Bruster PLLC in January 2022. Firm and directory listings indicate he is now a partner at Larson Bruster (formerly Bruster PLLC), based in the Dallas/Southlake area.

Notable matters and PTAB/IPR experience. He appeared for Flexiworld Technologies in its Western District of Texas infringement suits against Roku and Amazon (Judge Albright) and in the related Roku-initiated IPRs (IPR2021-00713/714/715); at least one of those IPRs ended in a final written decision invalidating most challenged claims. He also served as lead counsel for patent owner Neuro and Cardiac Technologies in IPR2018-01709 and appeared for patent owner Equo IP in Samsung v. Evolved Wireless (IPR2021-00943) — indicating regular IPR/PGR practice, generally defending patents rather than petitioning. Earlier work included the DataTreasury check-imaging series and Syntrix v. Illumina, which his firm bio describes as the largest patent verdict in Washington State history.

Credentials. Texas bar (2008); USPTO Reg. No. 68,600; B.A. English, University of Texas (2001); J.D., University of Iowa (2007); B.S. Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Texas (2009). (Career details are drawn from firm and directory sources; there are other attorneys named Andrew Wright, but the USPTO registration number confirms continuity across the firms listed.)
