Brian Scott Boerman

I'll research this attorney before drafting.

Brian Scott Boerman — Sheridan Ross P.C. (Denver, CO)

Focus. Boerman is an IP litigator whose practice centers on electrical engineering and software subject matter — computer hardware and software, business methods, and consumer electronics/streaming media — with patent drafting and prosecution, validity/infringement/FTO opinions, and trade secret audits layered on top of the litigation work. His one tracked district court appearance, Adeia Technologies Inc. et al. v. DISH Network Corp. et al. (D. Colo., filed April 1, 2026), is a good illustration of the technology profile: the asserted patents cover pay-TV and streaming technologies, including interspersed manifest file specifications for adaptive video streaming, media-guidance user interface animation, and session-authorization/concurrent-stream controls across the DISH Hopper platform, DISH Anywhere, and Sling TV. He also handles trademark and general commercial matters (e.g., World Gold Trust Services, LLC v. Goldcoin Developers Group LP, S.D.N.Y.), and authored an INTA Bulletin piece on cryptocurrency and trademarks.

Side preference. The tracked data shows 1 plaintiff-side appearance and 0 defendant-side, and it is as local counsel for the Adeia licensing entities in Colorado. His PTAB docket reinforces a patent-owner/enforcement orientation: he has acted as lead counsel for patent owners in inter partes reviews rather than as petitioner's counsel. This reads as a practice that more often asserts and defends licensors' patents than one built around defending operating companies in NPE suits — though the district court sample is a single case, so the counts should be treated as weak evidence of a true side preference.

Firm context. Boerman is a shareholder at Sheridan Ross P.C., a Denver IP boutique; he was elevated to shareholder effective January 2025 and serves as a co-chair of the firm's Litigation Practice Group. An aggregator profile derived from LinkedIn lists earlier roles at Holland & Hart LLP and Baker Botts LLP, but I could not verify those prior firms from a firm website, court filing, or other reliable source, so treat that history as unconfirmed.

Notable matters and PTAB/IPR experience. The most prominent tracked matter is Adeia v. DISH — a coordinated dispute in which DISH responded with a declaratory judgment action in California federal court the day after Adeia filed in Colorado. Boerman's PTAB work is substantial and recurring: lead counsel for patent owner Koolbridge Solar in the SolarEdge Technologies v. Koolbridge Solar IPRs (IPR2022-00007, -00008, -00010, -00013; solar power electronics), patent owner's counsel in Unified Patents LLC v. AutoBrilliance LLC (IPR2020-00354), and lead counsel for patent owners K.Mizra LLC (Google LLC v. K.Mizra LLC, IPR2025-01437) and KIWI Intellectual Assets Corp. (Samsung Electronics Co. v. KIWI Intellectual Assets Corp., IPR2026-00164). I did not find a verifiable public verdict, Federal Circuit decision on the merits, or announced settlement attributable to him.
