Ashley N. Moore

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

Let me gather more on her firm history, education, and case outcomes.

Ashley N. Moore — Patent Litigation Practice Summary

Specialty / focus. Moore is an intellectual property trial lawyer whose patent work skews toward electrical and computer-adjacent technologies: cellular and Wi-Fi (including standards-essential/FRAND assertions), medical devices, cloud/software, fiber optics, oilfield and industrial equipment, and mobile ticketing. Her technical background is consistent with that mix — she holds a B.S. in electrical engineering with a biomedical specialization from SMU and worked as a patent agent before practicing law, and she is a registered patent attorney (USPTO Reg. No. 51,667). She handles patent, licensing, and trade secret matters, with clientele ranging from Fortune 500 companies to startups.

Side preference. The tracked record is uniformly plaintiff-side (4 plaintiff / 0 defendant), and most of her publicized wins are patent-owner/assertion-side: she was counsel on WiLAN's cellular suits against Apple (a reported $145M jury verdict in August 2018 and an $85M retrial verdict in January 2020) and lead counsel to Dr. Ford Albritton against Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Acclarent (sinuplasty devices). That said, she is not exclusively plaintiff-side — her own representative-matters list includes defendant-side defense work (a take-nothing summary judgment of invalidity for True Software, a fast settlement for SugarSync, and representation of AECOM) and representation of operating company Ericsson in FRAND/SEP matters. One labeling caveat: the tracked matter captioned Intuit Inc. v. Samesurf, Inc. is the PTAB/IPR caption in which Intuit was petitioner; McKool Smith's filings show the firm — with Moore as lead counsel — representing patent owner Samesurf, so that "plaintiff" tag reflects the docket caption rather than her client's posture.

Firm context. All four tracked matters are tagged to McKool Smith, where Moore practiced for more than 15 years as a principal. That affiliation is historical: she left in February 2023 to become Dallas office managing partner at Michelman & Robinson, then joined Greenberg Traurig in July 2024 as a shareholder in its Intellectual Property & Technology and Litigation practices in Dallas. Current firm: Greenberg Traurig.

Notable matters, PTAB, and education. The most prominent tracked family is Samesurf, Inc. v. Intuit Inc. (co-browsing/synchronized web browsing, C.D. Cal.), which was stayed behind three Intuit IPRs — IPR2023-00339, -00341, and -00342 — where the PTAB upheld the '448 patent's claims but found the '145 and '591 patents unpatentable; Samesurf's appeals of the invalidity findings were affirmed by the Federal Circuit in May 2026 (the appeals were argued by McKool Smith colleagues, after her departure), and Intuit's appeal as to the '448 patent was affirmed in April 2026. Her other notable win is the Acclarent/Federal Circuit affirmance (Oct. 4, 2019) of the PTAB decision upholding Dr. Albritton's sinuplasty patent. Moore appears regularly in PTAB proceedings — USPTO filings name her as lead counsel for patent owners in the Samesurf IPRs and, in 2021–2023, for Palo Alto Research Center in Twitter's IPR challenges — so she has substantial IPR experience on the patent-owner side. Education: J.D., SMU Dedman School of Law; B.S., Southern Methodist University. Texas bar (SBN 24074748).

Note on sourcing: the firm history and case results above come from Greenberg Traurig's press materials, Law.com/Texas Lawyer, The Texas Lawbook, D CEO, and PTAB/Federal Circuit filings. The tracked matter list shows all four appearances as McKool Smith engagements, which is consistent with matters filed before her 2023 departure.
