Jamie H. McDole

I'll research this attorney before writing. Let me start with several searches.

Let me dig into the specific cases and PTAB matters.

Jamie H. McDole — Patent Litigation Practice Summary

Specialty / focus. McDole's IP practice centers on patent enforcement litigation and licensing across a broad technology mix rather than a single niche. Winstead's own practice description and his IAM profile list experience with 3G/LTE/4G standard-essential patents, data storage, semiconductors, mobile devices, smart electricity meters, manufacturing processes, electronic check presentment, as well as life-sciences matters including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and biologics. His visible docket work skews toward semiconductor and memory technologies (MOSAID/MediaTek and MOSAID/Infineon power-management and memory patents) and data-storage software (StreamScale's "accelerated erasure coding" patents). His undergraduate degree in chemical engineering is consistent with the mechanical/life-sciences component of that mix.

Side preference. The authoritative tracker shows 2 appearances, both plaintiff-side, both at Winstead (one as shareholder, one as local counsel); the tracker does not populate case names for either. That aligns with his current practice, which is predominantly patent-owner enforcement and monetization — he serves as outside general counsel to MOSAID Technologies (a patent licensing company), and led the plaintiff's side in StreamScale v. Cloudera. However, his career is genuinely two-sided: firm bios state he has represented Fortune 50 companies as both plaintiffs and defendants, and his earlier Haynes and Boone work included defense-side and petitioner-side roles for companies such as Cisco, Apple, and FormFactor. So: currently patent-owner/plaintiff-leaning, historically both sides.

Firm context. McDole is a shareholder in Winstead PC's Dallas office, in the Business Litigation and IP Litigation practice groups. He joined Winstead from Thompson & Knight LLP as part of an IP litigation group move (with Phillip Philbin and Michael Karson); before that he was in Haynes and Boone LLP's IP litigation practice, and his bio states he began his career at Kirkland & Ellis LLP. He is not in-house; his MOSAID role is as outside counsel/outside general counsel.

Notable matters and PTAB activity. The most prominent verified result is StreamScale, Inc. v. Cloudera, Inc. (W.D. Tex., Waco Division, tried October 2023), where he was lead counsel for StreamScale and the jury returned a $240 million verdict on three cloud data-storage patents; Winstead worked the case with Irell & Manella and the Ciccarelli Law Firm. Post-trial and any appellate outcome are not verified in the sources reviewed. He is lead counsel for MOSAID in MOSAID Technologies Inc. v. MediaTek, Inc., No. 2:23-cv-00129 (E.D. Tex., filed March 2023, asserting seven patents), a case notable for MediaTek's motion to disqualify McDole (and its attempt to depose him as lead trial counsel), which was briefed and heard in June 2024; the case was terminated in January 2025 on the docket, with no ruling on the disqualification motion verified in the materials reviewed. He also represents MOSAID in its 2025 W.D. Tex. suits against Infineon (Nos. 1:25-cv-00358 and 1:25-cv-00436). He does appear in PTAB/IPR proceedings, though typically as back-up rather than lead counsel — e.g., back-up counsel for patent owner MOSAID in IPR2024-00599 ('563 patent) and IPR2025-01171 ('306 patent), and earlier back-up counsel on petitioner-side teams at Haynes and Boone (Apple, IPR2018-00395; a FormFactor petition).

Bar / education. J.D., Chicago-Kent College of Law (Illinois Institute of Technology), 1999; B.S., Chemical Engineering, University of Iowa, 1996. Admitted in Texas and Illinois and registered with the USPTO (Reg. No. 69,875); his Haynes and Boone-era profile also lists Federal Circuit and Fifth Circuit admissions. A secondary directory listing credits him with an externship for then-Judge Randall Rader at the Federal Circuit — that detail comes from an aggregator site rather than a firm or court source, so treat it as unconfirmed.

Caveat: the two tracked appearances in the dataset are unnamed ("Untitled case"), so I could not tie the tracker entries to specific matters; the cases above come from court filings, PTAB records, firm announcements, and legal-press coverage, and any settlement terms or unverified rulings are flagged as such.
