Jason Stewart Jackson

I'll research this attorney's professional background and verify the tracked case.

Let me verify the tracked case and the attorney's prior firm history.

Let me check the fee outcome in the Commerce case and his pre-Kutak Rock firm.

Professional Summary — Jason Stewart Jackson

Specialty / focus areas. Jackson is a registered patent attorney whose practice centers on patent litigation and post-grant proceedings, with a technical background in computer science (B.S., Georgia State University) that maps onto the subject matter of his cases. His Kutak Rock bio identifies experience in financial services, network protocols and adapter technology, network intrusion detection and firewalls, encryption, database technology, internet advertising and e-commerce, electronic gaming, polymer and flooring technology, athletic equipment, nutritional supplements, and personal recreational vehicles; earlier directory listings also cite spread-spectrum transceivers, Ethernet controller technology, mesh networking, RFID, digital watermarking, and digital image processing. The tracked case sits squarely in his core area: network-security/firewall and encrypted-transaction patents asserted against banks.

Side preference. His single tracked appearance (Commerce Bancshares v. Intellectual Ventures II LLC) is logged on the plaintiff side as co-counsel, reflecting Commerce's posture as the party that initiated the IPR challenge against IV. The fuller public record shows a mixed practice rather than a single-side orientation. His Kutak Rock bio states that before joining the firm he "exclusively worked to enforce patent rights through licensing and litigation," i.e., patent-holder/NPE-side work; since then he has defended operating companies (regional banks against Intellectual Ventures; Arctic Cat; RTG Parts; Mission First Tactical) while also representing patent owners in PTAB proceedings (Zircore, LLC; 4361423 Canada Inc.). The consistent theme is defense of operating companies against NPE assertions paired with offensive IPR work, not a pure plaintiff-side practice.

Firm context, notable cases, and PTAB experience. Jackson is a partner in Kutak Rock's Omaha office and head of the firm's Post-Grant Proceedings Group; his bio states he has been counsel of record in more than 100 IP matters nationwide, including the Eastern District of Texas, the District of Colorado, the District of Nebraska, the Northern District of Georgia, and the ITC, and as lead counsel in Federal Circuit appeals. The most prominent matter is the Intellectual Ventures firewall/network-security campaign: as lead counsel for Commerce Bancshares, Compass Bank, and First National Bank of Omaha, he won PTAB invalidation of IV's asserted claims, then argued for the banks (appellees) before the Federal Circuit, which affirmed on December 9, 2016 (682 F. App'x 891; see also 671 F. App'x 788). One caveat on outcomes: the banks' subsequent § 285 motion for attorney fees in the Western District of Missouri was denied — the court granted final judgment for Commerce but rejected the exceptional-case theory and allowed only $1,804.49 in costs. His PTAB footprint is substantial and largely patent-owner-side or petitioner-side across IPR/CBM matters, including IPR2014-00722 and IPR2014-00801 (banks as petitioner), IPR2016-01713 (Arctic Cat, lead counsel), IPR2017-00081 (Zircore), and IPR2019-01650/01652 (4361423 Canada Inc.); he is a member of the PTAB Bar Association.

Bar / education. J.D., Emory University School of Law (2004); B.S., Computer Science, Georgia State University (2001). Admitted in Georgia, Nebraska, and Colorado, and before the USPTO (Reg. No. 56,733), the Federal Circuit, and several district courts; also a Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP/US). One gap: I could not verify from reliable public sources the name of the enforcement-side firm where he practiced before Kutak Rock, and no public source establishes a specific dollar verdict or settlement in his matters beyond the appellate and PTAB results described above.
