D. M. The Marque

I'll research this attorney before drafting. Let me run several searches.

Let me search further to disambiguate this name and check Ramey LLP's attorney roster.

Verification note: I could not independently verify this attorney's identity in any public source. Searches for the name returned no attorney profiles, bar records, firm bios, or press mentions. The name may be an anonymized or placeholder entry, so the following is drawn primarily from the one tracked case and from verified information about the firm, with limits flagged where relevant.

Specialty / focus. The single tracked matter, AML IP, LLC v. Orveon Global US LLC (S.D.N.Y. No. 1:25-cv-00970, filed Feb. 3, 2025), is an electronic-commerce patent case asserting U.S. Patent No. 7,177,838 ("Method and Apparatus for Conducting Electronic Commerce Transactions Using Electronic Tokens"). The accused technology is a token/points-based digital payment and loyalty system on the defendant's e-commerce platform (the complaint references the bareMinerals brand). On the available record, the practice focus is software- and e-commerce-implemented business methods rather than Wi-Fi/standards, pharma, or mechanical art. That is a single-data-point inference, not an established specialty.

Side preference. The tracked count is 1 plaintiff-side appearance and 0 defendant-side, and the plaintiff, AML IP, LLC, describes itself as a non-practicing entity. The practice therefore appears oriented toward asserting patents for NPE/PAE clients rather than defending operating companies. With only one case, the plaintiff/defendant split is suggestive rather than statistically meaningful. One caveat: the public docket in the Orveon case lists David John Hoffman, not this attorney, as plaintiff's counsel of record, so the appearance may be a short-lived or non-public one (e.g., a notice appearance or pre-suit role).

Firm context. The case is attributed to Ramey LLP, a Houston-based IP litigation and prosecution firm founded in 2011 and led by William P. Ramey III. Ramey is a high-volume patent assertion filer, particularly in the Western District of Texas, and AML IP, LLC is a repeat Ramey client with a broad campaign asserting the '838 and related '189 patents against defendants including Domino's, AMC, Buffalo Wild Wings, Wyndham Rewards, Barnes & Noble, Fetch Rewards, MOD Super Fast Pizza, and several airlines. No prior firm history for this attorney could be verified. Firm-level matters involving Ramey LLP — including sanctions and fee-shifting rulings in Koji IP v. Renesas, the ZT/VMware case, CTD Networks, and VDPP v. Volkswagen — involve other Ramey lawyers and are noted only as firm context, not attributed to this attorney.

Outcomes and PTAB. No case in the tracked list has produced a publicly reported verdict, settlement, or Federal Circuit decision attributable to this attorney, and I found no IPR/PGR filings naming them as counsel. Ramey LLP has firm-level post-grant experience (it was listed in Patexia's 2025 PTAB Intelligence Report among the top 250 firms), but that is a firm credential, not evidence of individual PTAB practice. Many AML IP suits have ended in voluntary dismissals with prejudice before answer.

Bar / education. Not reliably sourced; no admission or education information could be verified for this name, so I have omitted it.
