Brandon V. Zuniga — Patent Litigation Practice Summary

Brandon Zuniga is a Dallas-based patent and IP litigator at Bragalone Olejko Saad PC, a boutique firm that concentrates on patent-owner-side litigation, principally in the Eastern District of Texas. His tracked docket is dominated by infringement suits brought by patent-assertion entities across connected-device and software technologies: Stingray IP Solutions LLC cases against Assa Abloy, Resideo Technologies, Johnson Controls, and Leedarson IOT (access control, security, and lighting/IoT markets), plus Byteweavr, LLC v. Databricks, Inc. and Sovereign Peak Ventures, LLC v. Verifone, Inc. (admitted pro hac vice in the Northern District of Georgia, 2025). His firm-published bio also describes a broad technical background — chemical engineering, software, electrical, and mechanical arts — developed while practicing at earlier Dallas IP firms.

Side preference. Of his six tracked appearances, four were plaintiff-side and two defendant-side. The publicly identifiable matters skew heavily toward representing patent-owner/NPE plaintiffs (Stingray IP Solutions, Byteweavr, Sovereign Peak Ventures), indicating a practice built primarily around asserting patents for monetization entities rather than defending operating companies. (The two untitled defendant-side entries are not publicly attributable to named matters.)

Firm context and notable matters. He joined Bragalone Olejko Saad by at least 2022, appearing on the firm's E.D. Tex. Stingray campaign (including as counsel of record and in lead-counsel filings alongside Jeffrey Bragalone and Terry Saad). Earlier in his career he was an associate at Dallas IP boutique Carstens & Cahoon, LLP (per Martindale and a Boston University alumni note) and later at Carstens Allen & Gourley LLP (per a firm-published bio). No verdicts, settlements, or Federal Circuit decisions attributable to him surfaced in web research, so case outcomes remain unverified. The Stingray v. Leedarson matter was still active on the docket as of mid-2026.

PTAB/IPR experience. There is no evidence he appears regularly in IPR/PGR proceedings. He authored a firm article on IPR claim-amendment strategy ("Hindsight Is 20/20: Options for Amending Issued Patent Claims"), indicating familiarity with PTAB practice rather than a standing IPR docket.

Bar / education. B.S. in chemical engineering from Rice University; J.D. from Boston University (2013, IP concentration); licensed in Texas since 2013 (including the Northern District of Texas) and registered with the USPTO (sources: Martindale, US News attorney profile, firm bios).
