Jason Z. Miller
6 tracked appearances — 4 plaintiff · 2 defendant.
Specialty & background
Jason Z. Miller is a Partner at Smith, Katzenstein & Jenkins LLP, specializing in corporate and commercial litigation within the Delaware Court of Chancery, Delaware Superior Court, and the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. His intellectual property litigation experience primarily involves serving as local counsel in patent disputes, particularly concerning voice AI, conversational AI, and natural language processing technologies.
Mr. Miller's practice demonstrates experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants in patent litigation. With four tracked plaintiff-side appearances and two defendant-side appearances, all in connection with VB Assets, LLC, he has notably represented this patent assertion entity (also known as VoiceBox). VB Assets, LLC's portfolio is based on technologies from VoiceBox Technologies Inc., an early pioneer in conversational AI.
His notable cases include representing VB Assets, LLC in significant disputes. In VB Assets, LLC v. Apple Inc., he was involved in a case asserting seven patents against Apple's Siri voice assistant technology, which settled under a confidential license agreement in November 2025. Additionally, in VB Assets, LLC v. Amazon.com, Inc. et al., a Delaware jury ordered Amazon to pay VB Assets $46.7 million for wilfully infringing four voice AI patents through its Alexa product range in November 2023. Post-trial, the award was trimmed to over $40 million, with ongoing royalty rates established. Appeals related to other VB Assets v. Amazon cases were dismissed by the Federal Circuit for lack of jurisdiction in March 2025.
While his firm's practice areas include intellectual property, there is no readily available information indicating that Mr. Miller regularly appears in IPR or PGR proceedings. He was admitted to practice in 2016 after earning his B.B.A., cum laude, from Temple University in 2010 and his J.D., magna cum laude, from Temple University Beasley School of Law in 2016.
