Attorney Summary: Gary V. Larson

Research note: Web searches for this attorney returned no verifiable results tying a "Gary V. Larson" to Locke Lord, to the Sampo IP v. Aetna matter, or to any bar admission, education, or PTAB record. The name is shared by multiple unrelated individuals — including a trial-litigation boutique (Larson LLP), a life-sciences patent attorney (Gary Speier, Carlson Caspers), and several named inventors on Justia's patent database — none of whom I could confirm is this attorney. The summary below therefore rests on the authoritative case list, with gaps flagged rather than filled.

Specialty / focus areas. The tracked docket is too thin to establish a technology specialty. The only entry, Sampo IP, LLC v. Aetna Inc., is a patent assertion against a health-insurance operating company; the patents' subject matter (likely software/business-method or network-related) could not be confirmed from available sources, so no reliable technology-area characterization is possible.

Side preference. Based on the sole tracked appearance, Larson sits on the defense side (defendant: 1; plaintiff: 0). That single data point is consistent with a practice defending operating companies against patent-assertion entities — Sampo IP is a non-practicing-entity-style plaintiff — but it is not enough to describe a settled side preference. No PAE/NPE-side prosecution or plaintiff-side work appears in the tracked data.

Firm context. Locke Lord is the only firm associated with this attorney in the tracked data; no prior firm history relevant to patent litigation could be verified. There is no indication the attorney is in-house.

Notable cases / outcomes. The one tracked matter is Sampo IP, LLC v. Aetna Inc., in which Larson is listed for the defendant. No outcome — verdict, dismissal, settlement, or Federal Circuit appeal — could be verified, and no other prominent patent cases are attributable to this attorney on the record available.

PTAB / IPR experience. No IPR, PGR, or other PTAB participation could be verified for this attorney. Nothing in the tracked data indicates regular post-grant practice.

Bar / education. Not reliably sourced; omitted. Confirming bar admissions, law school, and any technical degree would require a direct check of the state bar directories and Locke Lord's attorney bio, which were not retrievable here.

Caveat: given the frequency of the name "Gary Larson" in legal and patent records, any further research should be anchored to a specific bar number or the Locke Lord attorney page to avoid conflating this attorney with same-named individuals.
