Gregory P. Webb

I'll research this attorney before drafting.

Good initial results. Let me dig into the Federal Circuit appeals and other matters.

Gregory P. Webb — Partner, Haynes and Boone, LLP (Dallas–North/Plano, Texas)

Focus areas. Webb's practice centers on post-grant proceedings at the USPTO and on patent prosecution and counseling rather than on conventional district court trial work. Haynes Boone's own bio describes his IPR practice as focused on wireless communications (LTE, CDMA, WiMAX), medical devices, and data compression and storage, with prosecution experience spanning telecommunications, diagnostic imaging, medical devices and simulators, optics, nanotechnology, semiconductor manufacturing, computer networking, software, and well logging. Firm practice tags list medical device, autonomous transportation, and AI/deep learning. His tracked litigation appearance involves geospatial/aerial-imagery technology (automated roof measurement and 3D reconstruction from oblique aerial photographs), and his PTAB docket includes data-compression and wireless-standard patents. He also does IP asset diligence and risk assessment in M&A and new-product contexts, and licensing/R&D agreement work.

Side preference. The tracked case list shows a single appearance, on the plaintiff side, as team lead for EagleView in Eagle View Technologies, Inc. v. Nearmap US, Inc. (D. Utah). That appearance reflects representation of a patent-owning operating company in geospatial imaging — not an NPE/PAE — so it should not be read as an NPE-side practice. His broader publicly reported record is genuinely two-sided: he has represented IPR petitioners challenging others' patents (Riverbed, Ericsson, Tesla) and patent owners defending their own (EagleView). The tracked data set is too narrow to support any stronger statement about side preference.

Firm context and notable matters. Haynes and Boone is the only firm in the tracked data, and no prior firm history was identified in public sources; he has been with the firm since at least his 2005 bar admission. Notable reported results:

• Eagle View Technologies v. Nearmap US (D. Utah, No. 2:21-cv-00283) — EagleView's infringement suit asserting eight aerial-imagery patents; stayed August 25, 2025 pending PTO and Federal Circuit proceedings, then resolved by a confidential settlement announced May 29, 2026.
• EagleView IPR defense (2024) — Webb led the team that persuaded the PTAB to deny institution of both Nearmap petitions (IPR2024-00716 on U.S. Pat. No. 10,671,648 and IPR2024-00729 on U.S. Pat. No. 9,182,657), with the Board finding the petitions lacked the required specificity.
• Adverse counterpoint worth noting: in the earlier Nearmap IPRs (IPR2022-01009, IPR2022-01090), the Board held claims of EagleView's U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,670,961 and 8,078,436 unpatentable as obvious, and the Federal Circuit affirmed on February 3, 2026 (No. 24-1488), rejecting EagleView's claim-construction and obviousness arguments. That appeal was argued by Haynes Boone partner Debra J. McComas, not Webb.
• Riverbed Technology (2017) — Webb was on the team and handled the PTAB oral hearing in IPRs that invalidated all challenged claims of U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,643,513 and 7,378,992 (data compression), neutralizing claims behind a $4.32 million Tyler, Texas jury verdict.
• Ericsson / University of Minnesota (2017) — represented Ericsson in IPRs of five university wireless-communications patents raising sovereign-immunity and waiver issues.

PTAB/IPR experience. This is a core strength, not an occasional add-on. Firm press materials note he has argued IPRs, represented an ITC complainant that obtained an exclusion order, and managed ex parte reexaminations that confirmed claims previously found infringed on a jury verdict. He also appears as counsel on IPRs for Tesla against Intellectual Ventures patents.

Bar and education. Admitted in Texas (2005); registered to practice before the USPTO (Reg. No. 59859, 2006). J.D., University of Texas School of Law, 2005 (with honors; Texas Intellectual Property Law Journal); B.A., Hendrix College, 2002, in physics and mathematics.

Sourcing note: the technology-area and outcome descriptions above come from Haynes Boone's attorney bio and firm press releases, World IP Review, Law360 coverage, and Federal Circuit/PTAB records. Individual credential claims not corroborated by those sources have been omitted.
