Demetrios Anaipakos — patent litigation practice summary

Focus areas. Anaipakos' patent docket is dominated by electronics, telecommunications and software technologies rather than life sciences or mechanical arts. Recurring subject matter includes wireless standards and standard-essential patents (Bluetooth in Rembrandt v. Samsung; speech-codec and cellular patents in Saint Lawrence Communications v. Motorola; eSIM/IoT and 5G authentication in the Network-1 v. Samsung matters; antennas in Fractus v. Geotab), streaming and mobile-app software (GoTV Streaming v. Netflix; Wapp Tech mobile-development-tool patents asserted against Bank of America and other banks), and display/optical technology (Innovative Display Technologies suits against BMW, Ford and Canon). His firm also markets energy, oil-and-gas and financial-services work, which matches the complex-commercial side of his practice.

Side preference. He is predominantly patent-owner/plaintiff-side. The tracked appearances run 14 plaintiff to 2 defendant, and his clients include licensing entities and NPEs (Rembrandt Wireless, Network-1, Fractus, Innovative Display Technologies, Wapp Tech). His defense-side work is narrower — most visibly representing Network-1 as the defendant in Samsung's declaratory-judgment action. Firm profiles describe him as representing both plaintiffs and defendants; the case record skews heavily plaintiff.

Firm context and credentials. Since April 2022 he has been co-founder of Houston boutique Alavi Anaipakos (with co-founder Amir Alavi and seven lawyers who followed from AZA). Before that he was a name partner at Ahmad, Zavitsanos, Anaipakos, Alavi & Mensing, P.C. (AZA), which he left in March 2022; his earlier firm history before AZA is not well documented in public sources. Bar/education: licensed in Texas since 1995; J.D., Stanford Law School (associate editor, Stanford Law Review) and A.B., Stanford; former law clerk to Judge Edith H. Jones, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit; Board Certified in Civil Trial Law, Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

Notable matters and PTAB. Reported results include a $15.7M jury verdict for Rembrandt Wireless against Samsung (one hour of deliberation; affirmed on appeal; settled on remand) and a unanimous willful-infringement verdict for Saint Lawrence Communications against Motorola Mobility, both described in his firm bio — self-reported and not independently verified here. IAM Patent 1000 credits him and Alavi with a $2.5M Netflix verdict (GoTV Streaming, later deemed exceptional) and a $2M Daingean Technologies verdict plus patent validation against T-Mobile. His tracked lead-counsel matters include Wapp Tech v. Bank of America, Network-1 v. Samsung and the Innovative Display Technologies campaign. He appears in PTAB proceedings chiefly as patent-owner counsel — defending Network-1's patents against Samsung's IPR petitions (institution denied on all six, per Network-1's SEC disclosure) and in the earlier Rembrandt IPRs — rather than as a high-volume petitioner.
