Geoffrey Patton Culbertson

Based on his public record, Geoffrey P. Culbertson is a partner at the Texarkana-based litigation firm Patton, Tidwell & Culbertson, L.L.P. His patent litigation practice is centered on district court litigation, particularly within the Eastern District of Texas, where he has experience as local counsel. The firm's stated practice areas include intellectual property and patent infringement, and it represents both plaintiffs and defendants. His background includes serving as a briefing attorney for a federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a prominent venue for patent disputes.

The authoritative case list shows Mr. Culbertson acting as local counsel on the defense side for Oura Health Oy in a patent case brought by Zepp Inc. This defendant-side representation is consistent with his firm's balanced practice, which handles cases for both patent holders and accused infringers. While his tracked record shows a defense-side appearance, his firm's broader litigation activities span various roles.

Public records indicate Mr. Culbertson has been named as counsel on filings related to inter partes review (IPR) proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), demonstrating experience in that venue in addition to his district court practice. He has also been an officer for the Eastern District of Texas Bar Association.

Mr. Culbertson earned his law degree from Baylor University School of Law in 2004, where he was Editor in Chief of the Baylor Law Review. He is admitted to practice in Texas and Arkansas, as well as before several federal courts, including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
