Daniel L. Huynh

Specialty / focus areas. Daniel L. Huynh is a patent and IP litigation partner whose technology focus spans wireless telecommunications (including 3G/4G standards and 3G CDMA portfolios), software, e-commerce, financial payment systems, and consumer/outdoor equipment. His practice includes district court litigation, ITC Section 337 investigations, international IP arbitration, and counseling on invalidity, non-infringement, and freedom-to-operate opinions. The tracked matters (saddle-hunting equipment patents; an untitled matter at Bradley) skew toward mechanical/consumer products, but his broader docket is predominantly technology and standards-based.

Side preference. He works both sides. Of the two tracked appearances, one is plaintiff-side (Bradley Arant Boult Cummings) and one defendant-side (Morris, Manning & Martin). That pattern matches his public case history, which is a mix of representing operating companies as both enforcers (Nokia, Technicolor/Vantiva, Tethrd) and accused infringers (Coca-Cola, Cardlytics). He is not an NPE/PAE plaintiff specialist.

Firm context. Huynh is a partner at Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP in Atlanta, where he moved in April 2025 as part of a nine-lawyer IP team from Morris, Manning & Martin (his firm from 2019; he was IP practice co-chair and chief diversity partner there). He spent his first ~nine years in the patent litigation group at Alston & Bird.

Notable cases / outcomes. He is lead counsel for Tethrd LLC in the saddle-hunting patent wars against CRü (Cruzr) Saddles and Latitude Outdoors (W.D. Mich. and M.D. Tenn., filed 2024), including defending Tethrd's patent in Cruzr Saddles LLC v. Tethrd LLC, IPR2025-01407, where the PTAB denied institution in February 2026. Earlier highlights while at Alston & Bird include representing Nokia as complainant/respondent in multiple ITC investigations against Apple and LG (Inv. Nos. 337-TA-704, -710, -771, -800, -1038/-1039) and defending Coca-Cola in Beverage Dispensing Solutions v. Coca-Cola (N.D. Ga.), which settled favorably. His firm bio also cites invalidating a patent and obtaining dismissal for Project Bordeaux (D. Del.) and a favorable settlement for SITA (N.D. Tex.). PTAB/IPR experience. He has appeared as lead counsel in IPR proceedings (e.g., the Tethrd matter), but his profile is district court- and ITC-centric; he is not known as a high-volume PTAB regular.

Bar / education. J.D., University of Georgia School of Law (2009); B.S. industrial engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology (2006); registered with the USPTO (Georgia and North Carolina bar admissions reported; Georgia licensure dates vary by source).
