Good baseline. Let me dig into firm history, notable outcomes, and Federal Circuit work.

Jeffrey R. Bragalone — patent litigation practice summary

Focus and side preference. Bragalone is a Dallas-based patent trial lawyer whose tracked docket is overwhelmingly plaintiff-side: 54 plaintiff appearances against 17 defendant appearances. He principally represents patent owners and NPE/PAE-style plaintiffs, but maintains a real defense practice for operating companies. His technology mix clusters in consumer-electronics hardware — LED/display backlighting and light-emitting panel assemblies are the recurring core (the Innovative Display Technologies LLC / Delaware Display Group LLC campaigns against Acer, ZTE, BlackBerry, Dell, HP, Amazon, LG, Vizio, Sprint, T-Mobile and auto OEMs) — along with cellular/wireless and standards-related portfolios (Cellular Communications Equipment LLC, Super Interconnect Technologies, Wi-LAN, Stingray IP Solutions), data/software platforms (Byteweavr v. Cloudera and Databricks), and a smaller mechanical/electronics defense docket (Securus inmate telecommunications; Intersil ambient light sensors).

Firm context. Bragalone Conroy P.C. (2200 Ross Ave., Dallas) accounts for 62 of the 71 tracked appearances and is the firm with which he is most identified. The case list shows the same Dallas patent litigators — Bragalone with Daniel F. Olejko, Terry A. Saad and Patrick J. Conroy — later appearing under Bragalone Olejko Saad P.C. (901 Main St., Dallas), so the track record reflects that boutique across both firm names rather than a move through large-firm IP departments. He has no apparent in-house affiliation.

Notable cases and outcomes. The IDT/DDG assertion campaign is his most prominent plaintiff work; a third-party survey of IDT's docket reported that the bulk of those suits terminated by settlement (with a 2015 IDT v. Mercedes-Benz matter resolved by "[f]avorable settlement following mediation" per his Avvo case list). His highest-profile defense matter was Texas Advanced Optoelectronic Solutions, Inc. v. Intersil Corp. (E.D. Tex.), where he represented Intersil through a four-week jury trial that produced a verdict for TAOS exceeding $88 million across trade-secret, contract, tortious-interference and patent claims; post-trial rulings trimmed duplicative awards, and the Federal Circuit subsequently vacated the damages and narrowed liability (TAOS v. Intersil/Renesas, 895 F.3d 1304 (Fed. Cir. 2018)), with later proceedings continuing on remand. He has argued three patent appeals before the Federal Circuit — Greenliant Sys. v. Xicor, 692 F.3d 1261 (2012); United Access Techs. v. Earthlink, 432 F. App'x 976 (2011); and Board of Regents of the Univ. of Texas Sys. v. BenQ America, 533 F.3d 1362 (2008) — and briefed Tegic Commc'ns v. Board of Regents, 458 F.3d 1335 (2006). In August 2025 his firm filed an amicus brief at the Federal Circuit on behalf of Acacia Research Group.

PTAB/IPR experience and credentials. He is a regular PTAB practitioner, appearing almost exclusively as back-up or pro hac vice counsel for patent owners across numerous IPRs and at least one PGR — including IDT (IPR2014-01094, IPR2015-00487), Securus (IPR2016-01220; PGR2016-00044), Cellular Communications Equipment (IPR2016-01493/1500/1501/1503), Collabo Innovations, Automation Middleware Solutions, and Super Interconnect (IPR2019-01590–92) — and has argued orally before the Board (e.g., IPR2014-00785, IPR2014-00824, IPR2015-00487). Notably, PTAB filings list him as pro hac vice rather than by USPTO registration number, with registered practitioners such as Justin B. Kimble, Saad and Nicholas Kliewer serving as lead counsel; that pattern suggests he is not himself a registered patent practitioner, though this is an inference from filings rather than a directly sourced statement. Bar/education: J.D., University of Texas School of Law (1987); licensed in Texas since 1987; Federal Circuit bar admission 2005; repeatedly listed in Super Lawyers (2003–2026) for business litigation and IP litigation.
