Glenn Bellamy

Glenn D. Bellamy is a seasoned patent litigator with over three decades of experience, currently serving as a Partner and Co-Practice Group Leader for Litigation at Wood Herron & Evans LLP in Cincinnati, Ohio. He has appeared as lead counsel in two tracked patent infringement cases, both on the plaintiff side. His practice focuses on intellectual property litigation, patent and trademark prosecution, and U.S. Customs enforcement, with particular expertise in technologies such as firearms, hydraulic machinery, biomedical devices, optics, toys, and games.

Bellamy primarily represents plaintiffs in patent disputes, as evidenced by his 100% plaintiff-side appearances in tracked cases. His current firm is Wood Herron & Evans LLP, where he is a partner. Previously, he was a managing partner at Barnard Pauly & Bellamy and held of counsel positions at Frost Brown Todd and Greenebaum Doll & McDonald. He also appeared as lead counsel for a plaintiff in a patent case while associated with Fish & Richardson.

A significant outcome in Bellamy's career includes securing a rare preliminary injunction in the "In re: Rare Breed Triggers Patent Litigation" in January 2022. Representing Rare Breed Triggers, Inc., the injunction was granted against alleged infringers Big Daddy Unlimited and Wide Open Enterprises concerning a firearm trigger patent, signaling a high likelihood of success on the merits. He has also represented ABC IP, LLC and Rare Breed Triggers, Inc. in ongoing patent infringement cases related to firearm trigger mechanisms. Notable, though not an adjudicated outcome against him, are allegations made in a 2026 counterclaim in related litigation, asserting that Bellamy violated court-ordered prosecution bars by filing new patent applications on forced reset triggers shortly after such orders were issued.

While his firm, Wood Herron & Evans LLP, handles post-grant proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), specific details of Bellamy's regular involvement in IPR/PGR proceedings are not extensively detailed in publicly available profiles. He earned his J.D. from the University of Cincinnati College of Law in 1987 and holds a B.S. in Nuclear Medicine Technology from the University of Cincinnati. He is admitted to the Ohio bar (1999), the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Supreme Court (1991), and multiple U.S. Courts of Appeals, including the Federal Circuit.
