Jason M. Shapiro

Jason M. Shapiro is a patent litigation attorney and the Chair of the Post-Grant Practice Group at Devlin Law Firm LLC, based in Wilmington, Delaware. His practice encompasses a range of technology areas, notably including Internet of Things (IoT), smart home technology, and wireless communication protocols, as evidenced by his work in cases involving wireless motors, smart sensors, gateways, and home automation controllers. He also has experience with mechanical technologies, specifically a centrifuge for cleaning reaction vessels, as seen in his appellate work.

Mr. Shapiro primarily represents patent owners, both in asserting their patents and defending their validity against challenges. While his tracked appearances include one plaintiff-side matter, his experience extends to successfully representing patent holders against infringement allegations and in post-grant review proceedings. For example, he represented Stellar in a patent dispute against Motorola, where his efforts led to a significant victory at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) through a Director Review that denied institution of inter partes review (IPR) trials. He also argued for the appellee, Yantai AusBio Laboratories Co., Ltd., before the Federal Circuit, successfully affirming a PTAB decision that upheld the patentability of claims related to a centrifuge.

His notable case experience includes serving as of counsel for IoT Innovations LLC in IoT Innovations LLC v. Somfy Systems, Inc. et al., a multi-patent infringement action concerning smart home technology, which concluded with a dismissal with prejudice in August 2024, likely indicating a confidential resolution. As Chair of the Post-Grant Practice Group, Mr. Shapiro demonstrates significant expertise in PTAB and IPR proceedings, advocating for patent owners in validity challenges.

Mr. Shapiro is a registered patent attorney with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO Reg. 35354).
