Joe Kendall

Joe Kendall is the founding partner of Kendall Law Group, where he leverages his extensive litigation experience, including prior service as a United States District Judge for the Northern District of Texas and a Texas State District Court Judge. His practice encompasses a broad range of complex commercial litigation, with patent cases forming one aspect of his firm's work, often in a local or liaison counsel capacity for out-of-state law firms. The firm also handles commercial and business litigation, torts, securities fraud, and class action matters.

In his patent litigation practice, Mr. Kendall has represented clients primarily on the plaintiff's side. This is evidenced by his appearance as local counsel for DataTreasury Corporation, a patent assertion entity, in the case of DataTreasury Corporation v. Jack Henry & Associates, Inc., and in related litigation. He notably represented DataTreasury Corporation (as Defendant-Appellant) in JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. v. DataTreasury Corporation, a Fifth Circuit appeal concerning a most-favored-licensee clause related to patents for electronic check-processing systems. His firm's overall approach is described as representing "individuals and small groups against the large and the powerful." There is no publicly available information indicating his regular appearance in PTAB or IPR proceedings.

Mr. Kendall is admitted to practice in all State and Federal Courts in Texas, as well as several U.S. District Courts across other states and the U.S. 2nd and 5th Circuit Courts of Appeals. He earned his B.B.A. from Southern Methodist University in 1977 and his J.D. from Baylor University School of Law in 1980.
