Eliza Del Carmen

Summary — Eliza Del Carmen (Patent Litigation)

Practice focus and current role. Eliza del Carmen is an intellectual property litigation attorney in Atlanta who represents businesses and individuals in IP and complex commercial disputes. Based on her verified docket work, her patent matters center on mechanical/outdoor sporting equipment — specifically saddle-hunting harnesses and rope assemblies — rather than software, pharma, or standards-essential patents. She currently practices as an associate in the Intellectual Property Practice Group of Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP, and she appeared on her tracked matter while at Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP, which co-represented the client alongside Bradley Arant.

Side and case posture. Her single tracked appearance is coded defendant-side (CRü v. Tethrd LLC, Morris, Manning & Martin), but the underlying web-verified litigation shows her acting for Tethrd, the patent-owning operating company that filed the lead infringement suit and faced counterclaims — so in substance she worked on the patent-enforcement side for an operating company, not for an NPE/PAE. Dockets confirm she entered appearances for plaintiff Tethrd in Tethrd, LLC v. CRUZR Saddles LLC, No. 1:24-cv-00076 (M.D. Tenn.), and Tethrd LLC v. Latitude Outdoors LLC (W.D. Mich.). With only one tracked matter and a recent admission, no clear side preference can yet be inferred beyond this enforcement-oriented work.

Notable matter and PTAB context. The principal verified case is Tethrd v. CRUZR Saddles, a competitor dispute over U.S. Patent No. 11,964,175 (a "Bridge Rope Assembly" used in saddle hunting). The court denied Cruzr's Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss in May 2025, and Cruzr separately petitioned for IPR (IPR2025-01407), which the PTAB declined to institute; del Carmen is not listed as counsel in that IPR, and no evidence shows a broader PTAB/IPR practice.

Bar and education. She is licensed in Georgia (2023), holds a J.D. from Emory University School of Law (2023), and a B.A. from Vanderbilt University (2019); she was named a Georgia Super Lawyers "Rising Star" for 2026. Her career is early-stage (admitted 2023), so reported results are limited to the matters above.
