Eric Enger

Eric Enger is a patent litigation attorney with a primary focus on high-tech disputes, particularly involving software, wireless communication, and various electrical engineering technologies. His practice encompasses both prosecuting and defending complex, multi-patent lawsuits across the United States. Enger also has experience litigating trade secret misappropriation cases and providing intellectual property counseling to software companies. His engineering background, with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, underpins his deep technical understanding of the issues in patent disputes.

Based on tracked appearances and publicly reported cases, Enger frequently represents plaintiffs, including in matters involving standards-essential patents (SEPs), such as those related to Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth technology. While his firm's public profile indicates he prosecutes and defends, the notable case outcomes identified lean towards plaintiff-side victories and favorable settlements. He is a partner at Heim, Payne & Chorush, LLP.

Enger has been involved in several significant patent litigation matters. Most recently, he was part of the legal team that secured a $37.5 million patent infringement verdict for Atlas Global Technologies LLC against TP-Link Technologies Inc., concerning patents essential to the IEEE 802.11ax Standard / Wi-Fi 6. Other notable cases include representing Rembrandt Wireless LP in a successful patent infringement litigation against Samsung involving Bluetooth technology, which resulted in a significant jury award, and PACT XPP Technologies, AG in a case against Xilinx, Inc. where a jury found willful infringement of FPGA-related patents. His experience also extends to post-grant challenges at the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB).

Enger earned his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas in 2000 and his J.D., cum laude, from the University of Houston Law Center in 2004. He is admitted to practice in the State of Texas and before the U.S. District Courts for the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Districts of Texas.
