Jacqueline G. Baker

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

Let me verify the Centripetal/Palo Alto involvement and other details.

Professional summary — Jacqueline G. Baker (Jackie Baker)

Specialty / focus. Baker is a Dallas-based litigator in Norton Rose Fulbright's disputes group whose IP practice runs mostly to patent and trade-secret litigation rather than to prosecution. Her tracked patent matters center on network-security/cybersecurity technology (the multi-front Centripetal Networks v. Palo Alto Networks dispute, including the parallel PTAB and Federal Circuit proceedings) and on telecommunications-adjacent patents (she was part of the Norton Rose Fulbright team that won summary judgment for Match Group invalidating U.S. Patent No. 7,243,105 asserted by British Telecommunications PLC). Her firm bio describes a broader complex-commercial and IP docket — breach of contract, fraud, trade-secret misappropriation, copyright infringement and False Claims Act work — across manufacturing, telecommunications, healthcare and aviation. I found no tracked or publicly described work in pharma, Wi-Fi-standards (SEP) litigation, or mechanical patents.

Side preference. The tracked data shows 7 appearances, all defense-side (0 plaintiff-side), with roles split among trial counsel (5), trial co-counsel (1) and lead defense counsel (1). Web-verified public dockets are consistent with a defense-oriented practice: she appeared pro hac vice as co-counsel for Corellium, LLC (defendant) in Apple Inc. v. Corellium, LLC (S.D. Fla.), and on the Match Group defense team. On the current record she defends operating companies rather than representing NPEs/PAEs; I found no plaintiff-side patent assertions attributed to her. One caveat: public E.D. Va. filings connect her to the Centripetal–Palo Alto dispute, and I could not independently confirm which side she occupied in every tracked Centripetal/Palo Alto entry, so the defense-side characterization rests primarily on the tracked data plus her other verified appearances.

Firm context and notable matters. She has practiced at Norton Rose Fulbright's Dallas office since 2018 (she is listed as a senior associate), joining directly out of law school as a member of the disputes group; no prior law-firm history relevant to patent litigation appears in public sources. Her most prominent tracked matter is the Centripetal Networks, Inc. v. Palo Alto Networks, Inc. litigation (E.D. Va., No. 2:21-cv-00137), which produced a $151.5 million jury verdict for Centripetal on Jan. 31, 2024 (later reduced to roughly $113.6 million after the court granted judgment of non-infringement on the '437 patent and denied a new trial, Oct. 31, 2024), plus the appeal tracked as Federal Circuit No. 2024-2373. She also appears in the related PTAB record (filings in IPR2021-01150, part of the Palo Alto/Centripetal IPR family) and the tracked Ex parte reexamination of U.S. Patent No. 10,931,797 — though the reexamination of the '797 patent is the closest thing to PTAB/reexam work in her tracked list, and I did not find evidence she is a recurring lead IPR petitioner. Elsewhere in that related appellate family, the Federal Circuit (No. 23-2027, Oct. 22, 2025) vacated and remanded the Board's decision on the '856 patent for failure to consider copying evidence. One tracked entry is captioned only as "Untitled case," so it cannot be described.

Bar / education. Admitted to the State Bar of Texas (2018); JD, University of Texas School of Law (2018); BA, summa cum laude, Texas A&M University (2015).
