Colin Aaron Keith

I'll research this attorney before drafting.

Let me dig into his firm bio and the tracked case.

Let me try to locate his official firm bio page for bar admissions and education.

Colin A. Keith — Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor LLP (Wilmington, DE)

Focus areas. Keith practices in Young Conaway's Intellectual Property Litigation section, where Chambers USA (2025) lists him among the Delaware IP team's members. His tracked patent work centers on machine-learning and computer-vision technology: the Aon Re v. Zesty.AI matter concerns patents (U.S. Nos. 10,529,029; 10,650,285; 11,030,491; 11,195,058) claiming automated analysis of aerial imagery using separate machine-learning classifiers to classify building characteristics and conditions and estimate disaster risk — i.e., insurtech/geospatial AI. Court filings also show him on Delaware dockets involving mechanical/construction tools (Hilti Aktiengesellschaft), life sciences and diagnostics (Guardant Health v. Tempus AI), and telecommunications (Optimum Communications Services v. Northwest Fiber). His docket beyond patent cases includes contract and copyright disputes, so patent work appears to be one component of a broader commercial-litigation practice rather than an exclusively patent-focused one.

Side preference. The authoritative tracked data shows 3 of 3 appearances on the plaintiff side, all in the same matter (Aon Re, Inc. v. Zesty.AI, Inc.). That figure should be read with care: the three entries are one case reflected multiple times across the tracker, and Keith's role is Delaware local counsel, a position that is largely side-agnostic and driven by the client's choice of lead counsel rather than by a plaintiff/defendant orientation. Other court filings show him acting for defendants as well (e.g., Hilti), and the Aon Re matter pairs him with lead trial counsel. On the available record, there is no basis to characterize him as an NPE/PAE-side or operating-company-side specialist.

Firm context and notable matters. Keith has practiced at Young Conaway, a Delaware firm with a Band 2 Chambers USA ranking for Delaware IP that serves both as lead counsel and as Delaware local counsel in complex patent litigation. His most prominent tracked case is Aon Re, Inc. v. Zesty.AI, Inc., No. 1:25-cv-00201 (D. Del.), in which the court (Judge John F. Murphy) denied the defendant's § 101 motion to dismiss on July 15, 2025, holding that the asserted claim recited a specific two-classifier architecture rather than the abstract idea of "looking at aerial imagery to estimate risk." The case remained active into 2026, with discovery and claim-construction activity (including an order compelling an inventor deposition). Notably, the July 2025 opinion is an eligibility win at the pleadings stage, not a final judgment or verdict; no trial result or appeal is documented in the sources reviewed.

PTAB / IPR experience, bar status. No individual IPR or PGR filings by Keith were located in public sources, so his personal PTAB track record cannot be verified on this record; the firm as a whole has a substantial PTAB practice (its attorneys author the Delaware chapter of Chambers' Patent Litigation guide, including IPR discretionary-denial issues). He is admitted in Delaware (D. Del. bar No. 7074) and appears regularly before the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. His education and any prior firm history are not reliably sourced in the materials reviewed and are therefore omitted.
