Geoffrey Robert Miller — Fenwick & West LLP (New York) — Patent Litigation Profile

Focus and specialty. Miller's practice is IP and patent litigation for technology companies, with a concentration in software, consumer-electronics, video streaming/codec technology, and video games. Fenwick's own bio describes him as representing "high tech, video game and consumer goods companies in patent infringement disputes," handling cases from discovery and claim construction through summary judgment, trial, and appeal in district courts in Texas, Delaware, and California, plus the ITC, the PTAB, and the Federal Circuit. A recurring theme in his work is § 101 patent-eligibility challenges — his bio credits decisions invalidating claims under § 101 in the Eastern and Western Districts of Texas, at the PTAB, and at the Federal Circuit. The tracked case list is consistent with this: video streaming/DRM (DivX v. Amazon) and real-time co-browsing/collaboration software (Samesurf/Intuit).

Side preference. He is a defense-side and petitioner-side litigator. All four tracked appearances are as defendant counsel (0 plaintiff-side), and the cases align with representation of large operating companies — Amazon, Intuit, and Supercell — against NPE/PAE or competitor assertions. In the Supercell/GREE matters he also appeared as petitioner in PTAB post-grant reviews attacking another party's patents, which is the offensive tool typically paired with defending an operating company, not plaintiff-side enforcement work.

Firm context. Fenwick & West throughout his tracked career; he appears in the firm's New York office (prior PTAB filings also list Mountain View and San Francisco addresses for the same firm). Before Fenwick, he served a one-year clerkship for Magistrate Judge John D. Love in the Eastern District of Texas, working primarily on patent cases. Note: his Fenwick role is not fully verified — he described himself as an associate in an August 2023 PTAB pro hac vice declaration, and Fenwick's 2026 Patexia announcement lists him among individually ranked firm litigators without a stated title. I could not confirm a current partnership date.

Notable matters and outcomes.

• Samesurf, Inc. v. Intuit, Inc. / Intuit Inc. v. Samesurf, Inc. — Miller was on the Fenwick team that petitioned for and won IPRs (IPR2023-00339, -00341, -00342) invalidating Samesurf's shared-browsing claims. On May 21, 2026, the Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB's obviousness ruling on U.S. Patent No. 9,185,145 (Samesurf, Inc. v. Intuit Inc., Nos. 2024-2268, -2269, nonprecedential, Judge Stark writing). Fenwick's Michael Sacksteder argued; Miller is listed as counsel for Intuit.
• DivX, LLC v. Amazon.com, Inc. — Fenwick defended Amazon in district court and at the ITC. In ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1343, the ALJ found no infringement and no domestic industry on May 29, 2024, a complete win for Amazon; Miller was on the Fenwick team. In the parallel district court action, Amazon later prevailed on summary judgment of non-infringement as to most asserted video-streaming patents and defeated DivX's willfulness case. Fenwick's bio also credits a summary judgment of § 101 invalidity for Amazon in the Western District of Texas concerning video-on-demand and electronic program guides.
• GREE, Inc. v. Supercell Oy — on behalf of Supercell, Fenwick invalidated mobile-game patent claims under § 101 in PGR proceedings; the Federal Circuit affirmed at 855 F. App'x 740 (Fed. Cir. 2021), and in a related appeal the court affirmed invalidity of the '594 patent's claims and reversed the Board as to claims 2–4 and 9 (834 F. App'x 583 (Fed. Cir. 2020)). Fenwick's bio attributes the video-game series and the Fed. Circuit reversal to Miller's team.

PTAB/IPR experience. Substantial and recurring. Miller's 2023 pro hac vice declaration states he had been listed on sixteen other PTAB petitions in the prior three years, and he has appeared in PGRs and IPRs for Supercell (against GREE), Intuit (against Samesurf), and Amazon (against DivX). Post-grant work appears to be a core part of his practice rather than occasional.

Bar and education. Admitted in California, New York, and Texas (Massachusetts on retired status), per his own 2023 PTAB declaration. J.D., University of Notre Dame (2014), per a third-party (Avvo) profile — I could not corroborate the law school or year from a primary source, so treat that line as unverified.
