Jeffrey A. Kahntroff

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

Let me verify the Skipper Law role in the BOE/Bishop Display matter and the firm's patent practice.

Professional Summary — Jeffrey A. Kahntroff

Specialty / focus areas. Mr. Kahntroff's tracked patent work consists of a single matter: the display-panel dispute between BOE Technology Group and Bishop Display Tech LLC, an NPE asserting TFT-LCD/display patents (e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,525,798 and 6,906,769) against liquid crystal display panels and modules incorporated into laptops and other consumer devices. There is no web-searchable record of a broader patent practice — no published practice description, no articles, and no other patent cases. His public profile and firm bios describe a general civil litigator whose docket is business/contracts, appeals, homeowner-association and condo disputes, personal injury, and employment matters; patent work does not appear to be a specialty. Treat the display-technology matter as an outlier rather than a defined technical focus.

Side preference. The authoritative data show one appearance, on the defendant side (0 plaintiff / 1 defendant). The opposing party, Bishop Display Tech LLC, is identified by Stanford's NPE database as a non-practicing entity. On that single data point he appears to have defended an operating company against NPE assertion. A one-case sample is not enough to characterize a side preference, and the data should be read as too thin to support any general claim about plaintiff- versus defendant-side orientation.

Firm context. He is at Skipper Law, LLC (Crofton, Maryland), where firm bios describe him as a senior associate handling general litigation and appeals. Before that he was a litigation associate in DLA Piper's Baltimore office (joined 2012), and earlier completed a public-interest fellowship at Advocates for Children of New York. There is no indication he has ever practiced at a patent boutique or IP-specialty firm, and no in-house role is documented.

Notable cases / outcomes. The only tracked matter is BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd. v. Bishop Display Tech LLC. In the parallel Eastern District of Texas litigation (consolidated as Bishop Display Tech LLC v. BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd., No. 2:25-cv-310, Judge Gilstrap), the court denied BOE's Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss and consolidated the companion case; BOE also filed PTAB petitions in the same dispute (IPR2025-01330 and IPR2025-01331). I could not verify a specific outcome attributable to Mr. Kahntroff in that dispute, and I found no verdicts, appeal decisions, or settlements tied to him in a patent matter. His only publicly reported trial result located is a non-patent civil-rights/plaintiffs' win at Skipper Law, which is outside patent litigation and is noted here only to distinguish his broader practice.

PTAB / IPR experience. No evidence of PTAB practice. Although IPRs were filed in the BOE/Bishop Display dispute, publicly listed petitioner and respondent counsel of record are different attorneys (James Davis for petitioner; Justine Kimble for respondent); Mr. Kahntroff does not appear in those records.

Bar / education. Admitted in Maryland (2010); J.D., University of Maryland School of Law (cum laude); B.A. in Economics and Psychology, Washington University in St. Louis (magna cum laude).

Caveat: multiple Maryland attorneys share the surname, but the Martindale, Avvo, DLA Piper, and Skipper Law records align on the education and bar details above. Because the patent-side record rests on one appearance, any conclusion about his patent-litigation practice should be treated as preliminary.
