D. Brian Dennis

D. Brian Dennis — Patent Litigation Practice Summary

Practice scope. Based on the tracked case data, D. Brian Dennis has one recorded patent litigation appearance — a single, untitled matter pursued on the plaintiff side as lead counsel at Phillips & Reiter, PLLC. Because the tracked matter is untitled, no technology area (e.g., Wi-Fi/standards, pharma, software, or mechanical arts) can be confirmed from the case record. Web searches did not return a firm bio or practice description specifically for D. Brian Dennis, and I was unable to independently verify his technology focus, PTAB/IPR activity, or any notable verdicts or Federal Circuit appeals. Note that "Brian Dennis" is a name shared by multiple practitioners (e.g., Dennis Brian Danella of Woods Oviatt Gilman, a mechanical/electro-mechanical and software patent attorney in Rochester, NY; and Brad Dennis Brian of Munger, Tolles & Olson), so public results must be disambiguated with care — I found no reliable source tying either to this profile.

Side and firm context. The available record shows Dennis exclusively on the plaintiff side (1 of 1 appearances), with no defense-side work tracked — a pattern consistent with representing patent holders/plaintiffs, though the sample size is too small to infer a firm-wide or personal preference. Phillips & Reiter, PLLC is a Texas firm (Austin, Houston, Dallas, and Fort Worth) that markets an "outsourced general counsel" model with roughly 25 attorneys; its practice areas include intellectual property counseling and litigation, commercial litigation, and technology transactions, and its managing partner is Andre Joseph Brunel. No prior firm affiliations for Dennis were verifiable through web search.

Credentials caveat. I could not confirm D. Brian Dennis's bar admissions, education, or USPTO registration from reliable public sources, so none are stated here. Given the thin public record, the most defensible characterization of his practice is: a plaintiff-side patent litigator at a Texas IP-capable boutique firm, with no publicly verifiable case names, results, or PTAB history beyond the single tracked engagement.
