Brian T. Hoyle

Brian T. Hoyle's patent litigation practice, prior to his appointment to the bench, primarily involved defense-side representation, as evidenced by his appearance as local counsel for a defendant in the case of DataTreasury Corporation v. NCR Corp.. The specific technology area of this case involved electronic check processing. While his professional background before becoming a judge indicated general civil litigation for various companies, his direct involvement in patent matters appears to be limited based on available public records and the provided case list.

During his time in private practice, Brian T. Hoyle was an attorney at Brown McCarroll, L.L.P., where he became a partner in December 2001. He remained with Brown McCarroll until his appointment as a Justice to the Texas Twelfth Court of Appeals in August 2006. Earlier in his career, from 1996 to 2000, he practiced with Merriman, Patterson & Allison. There is no publicly available information to suggest regular involvement in PTAB or IPR proceedings during his legal career.

Justice Hoyle received his B.A. from the University of Texas at Arlington in 1991 and his J.D. from Baylor University School of Law in 1994. He is a member of the State Bar of Texas, the Gregg County Bar Association, and the American Bar Association, and is admitted to practice in the United States 5th Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Eastern, Northern, and Southern Districts of Texas.
