Let me verify a few more details on notable outcomes and background.

Jacob Ostling — Patent Litigation Practice Summary

Specialty / focus areas. Ostling's practice is concentrated in hardware- and software-based patent litigation, spanning district courts (E.D. Tex., W.D. Tex., N.J., D. Del., N.D. Cal.), the ITC, and the PTAB. His firm biography lists smartphones, mobile payments, acoustic signal processing, semiconductors, cellular networks, secure computing, electronic displays, and lighting among his technology areas. This tracks the public docket record: he has appeared in mobile-payment cases (RFCyber Corp. v. Apple and v. Kroger; BrowserKey, LLC v. Morgan Stanley and v. Regions Bank), audio/acoustic matters (Jawbone Innovations v. Apple/Google), cellular-standard and wireless matters (Apex Beam Technologies), and LED/display lighting work (Bridgelux, Light Guide Innovations). Tracker data also shows him on location-technology matters involving Avant Location Technologies and smart-home defendants (Ecobee, Fibar Group).

Side preference. The tracked list is mixed on its face — roughly 4 plaintiff-side and 7 defendant-side appearances — but that split needs context. Much of the "defendant" work is Unified Patents v. Avant Location Technologies and Unified Patents v. Damaka, i.e., PTAB proceedings in which Ostling's client is the patent owner defending its portfolio against a defensive-aggregator petitioner. Combined with his district-court plaintiff-side appearances for NPE/patent-owner clients (Avant Location, Damaka, RFCyber, BrowserKey, Apex Beam, Light Guide Innovations), his practice is best characterized as predominantly representing patent owners on both offense (district court/ITC) and defense (PTAB), rather than defending operating companies accused of infringement. He holds registered-patent-attorney status and appears on both petitioner and patent-owner sides.

Firm context. Ostling is at Fabricant LLP (also styled Fabricant Rubino Lambrianakos LLP) in Rye, New York, a boutique whose roster — Alfred R. Fabricant, Peter Lambrianakos, Vincent J. Rubino III, and others — consistently appears alongside him in filings. Before joining the firm, he was an associate at Brown Rudnick LLP, per his firm bio.

Notable cases and PTAB/IPR experience. His firm bio states he has represented patent owners and petitioners in "over 90" IPRs and ex parte reexaminations; that figure is firm-published and not independently verified here. Verifiable PTAB activity includes lead-counsel designation for patent owner Damaka in Cisco Systems v. Damaka (IPR2026-00209, Reg. No. 77,624), oral argument for patent owner Apex Beam in the consolidated Samsung IPRs (IPR2023-00571/747, U.S. Pat. No. 10,951,271), and appearances for patent owner Jawbone Innovations in multiple Meta and Google IPRs. On the district-court side, his highest-profile tracked matters are the Avant Location Technologies campaigns (against Apple, Ecobee, and Fibar Group) and Unified Patents v. Damaka. I did not locate verified verdicts, Federal Circuit results, or settlement terms, so no outcomes should be attributed to him beyond the filings above.

Bar / education. Admitted to the New York bar in 2019 (N.Y. Bar No. 5684824) and registered with the USPTO (Reg. No. 77,624); Martindale lists Boston University School of Law as his law school. The education entry is single-sourced and should be confirmed before publication.
