D. Michael Tindall

Specialty / focus areas. D. Michael Tindall's tracked docket is limited to a single patent-infringement matter, but it places him in the wireless/telecommunications software space: he served as lead counsel for Headwater Research LLC in Headwater Research LLC v. Supercell Oy (No. 2:25-cv-00964, E.D. Tex., filed Sept. 18, 2025). Headwater Research is a non-practicing entity whose campaigns have centered on mobile-device network/resource-management patents, so the matter is a software/wireless-standards-style assertion rather than a pharma or mechanical case.

Side preference. The tracked record shows a plaintiff-side practice: 1 of 1 appearances for the plaintiff (an NPE) as lead counsel, with no defendant-side appearances tracked. The case list is too thin to infer a broader pattern, but the available data indicates work for patent-assertion entities in the Eastern District of Texas.

Firm context. Tindall appears with Mann Tindel Thompson (MT2 Law Group), an East Texas firm with offices in Henderson and Tyler that is best known as a fixture in E.D. Tex. patent litigation — including high-profile plaintiff verdicts by named partners Mark Mann and Andy Tindel in the VLSI v. Intel cases ($948M verdict in 2022; $2.3B judgment in 2022). Note: I could not locate a separate professional bio for "D. Michael Tindall" distinct from the firm's named partners (who are J. Mark Mann, Andy Tindel, and G. Blake Thompson); it is possible he is a newer or non-partner attorney at the firm, and I have not attributed the firm's headline verdicts to him.

Notable cases, PTAB/IPR, bar/education. The only tracked case is Headwater Research v. Supercell Oy (still open, no verdict or settlement to report). I found no evidence of IPR/PGR appearances, and no reliably sourced bar-admission or education information specific to D. Michael Tindall, so those items are omitted rather than inferred.
