Gregory Webb

I'll research this attorney's professional background before drafting.

Let me dig into the notable outcomes and PTAB work.

One more round to confirm the Ericsson/PTAB record, firm history, and litigation outcomes.

Gregory P. Webb — Haynes and Boone, LLP (Dallas–Plano, TX)

Specialty / focus. Webb's practice centers on USPTO post-grant proceedings — inter partes review, other Patent Office trials, and ex parte reexamination — alongside district court patent enforcement and defense. His firm bio and PTAB filings indicate a technology mix of wireless communications (LTE, CDMA, WiMAX), geospatial/aerial imaging and image processing, medical devices, and data compression and storage, with prosecution-side experience in telecommunications, semiconductors, networking, software, optics, diagnostic imaging, and well logging; the firm also lists autonomous transportation and AI/deep learning. Note that his tracked litigation docket is narrow (three appearances, concentrated in the Nearmap/EagleView dispute), so the broader technology profile rests on his firm biography and public PTAB filings rather than on the tracked case list.

Side preference. Mixed, with a defense/patent-owner tilt and no apparent NPE/PAE practice. The tracked data show two defendant-side and one plaintiff-side appearance. His most visible recent work is defending patent owner EagleView against competitor IPR challenges, while his Ericsson representations were petitioner-side challenges to university patents — i.e., he works both sides of the PTAB, generally for operating companies. One tracked appearance is plaintiff-side back-up counsel in an unidentified case; its subject matter could not be verified.

Firm context. Partner at Haynes and Boone, resident in the firm's Dallas–North/Plano office, and part of its Intellectual Property and Patent Office Trials practices (the firm was ranked in the 2025 Patexia PTAB Intelligence Report). No prior firm history was identified in the public sources reviewed.

Notable cases and outcomes. Webb led the Haynes Boone team for EagleView in two IPRs filed by Nearmap US — IPR2024-00716 (U.S. Pat. 10,671,648) and IPR2024-00729 (U.S. Pat. 9,182,657) — where the PTAB denied institution in October 2024, a publicly announced win for EagleView. He also appeared as patent-owner counsel for EagleView in the earlier Nearmap IPRs, including IPR2022-00734 (U.S. Pat. 9,135,737), which the Director vacated and remanded on Graham-factor/claim-construction grounds. Those disputes cut both ways: in February 2026 the Federal Circuit affirmed PTAB obviousness holdings cancelling claims of EagleView's U.S. Patents 8,670,961 and 8,078,436 (Eagle View Techs. v. Nearmap US, No. 24-1488), and the related district court litigation settled in 2026; different Haynes Boone counsel are listed on those appeals. On the petitioner side, he was part of the Haynes Boone team for Ericsson in the IPRs of five University of Minnesota wireless patents, where the Board's 2017 expanded-panel ruling on Eleventh Amendment waiver was a significant early PTAB decision. His firm bio also reports two IPRs in which all challenged claims — including claims underlying a $4.32 million jury verdict — were held unpatentable, an ITC exclusion order obtained for a patent owner, and ex parte reexaminations in which asserted claims were confirmed; those items are self-reported without case names and should be verified before reliance.

PTAB / IPR experience. Yes — post-grant work is a stated focus, filed under a dedicated IPR contact address, and he continues to appear in PTAB proceedings (e.g., IPR2025-00340).

Bar / education. Admitted in Texas (2005) and registered before the USPTO (2006); B.A., Hendrix College, 2002 (physics and mathematics); J.D., University of Texas School of Law, 2005, with honors.
