John P. Dyro, Jr. — patent litigation profile (research summary, Sept. 30, 2026)

Specialty / focus. Dyro's practice at Andrus Intellectual Property Law is built around mechanical-engineering subject matter, consistent with his B.S. in mechanical engineering (Notre Dame) and his USPTO registration (Reg. No. 83242). His firm bio describes his work as domestic and international patent and trademark prosecution and enforcement, counseling on patentability and infringement, and supporting USPTO filings; the firm lists "Mechanical Patents" as his technology area. USPTO-affiliated applicant data (PatentBots) associates him with prosecution portfolios such as Brunswick Corporation, Life Fitness, Marmon Foodservice Technologies/Prince Castle/Cornelius (food-service equipment), Daio Paper, GE/GE Precision Healthcare, Tridonic, and Northwestern University — i.e., mechanical, consumer-product, and electromechanical work rather than Wi-Fi/standards, pharma, or software/electronics litigation. The two litigation matters below involve commercial furniture (Krueger International) and TV/display-related patents (Maxell v. LG), and there is no searchable indication of standards-essential, FRAND, biologics, or NPE-portfolio litigation work by him.

Side preference. Both traceable appearances are on the plaintiff side, though the sample is very small and the postures differ. The tracked case, Krueger International Inc. v. Aloft Media LLC (No. 1:26-cv-00425, E.D. Wis., filed March 17, 2026), is a defensive declaratory-judgment action — an operating company (KI, a Wisconsin commercial-furniture manufacturer) suing first after Aloft Media, a patent-assertion entity that has been sending 2026 demand letters over website-related patents (e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 10,372,793 and 7,032,183), accused it of infringement. By contrast, his September 14, 2026 pro hac vice appearance in Maxell, Ltd. v. LG Electronics, Inc. (No. 2:26-cv-00266, E.D. Tex., Judges Gilstrap/Payne) is for Maxell, a practicing Japanese electronics manufacturer that licenses and enforces a large patent portfolio against LG over seven TV-related patents (Law360, Apr. 1, 2026). With 1 plaintiff-side appearance in the tracked data (0 defendant-side), the plaintiff-side cast is a function of these specific matters, not a demonstrated NPE/PAE-enforcement practice.

Firm context. Andrus Intellectual Property Law, LLP (Milwaukee) — he joined the firm after law school and has no other patent-litigation employers in the public record; a cached firm page lists him as a summer associate/associate. He appears to work in a supporting role on litigation teams rather than as first chair: in Krueger, the complaint was filed by Andrus partner Aaron T. Olejniczak; in Maxell, his pro hac vice entry appears alongside lead counsel from other firms (Geoffrey Culbertson, Jamie Beaber, et al.).

Notable cases, PTAB, bar/education. No verdicts, settlements, or Federal Circuit results are attributable to him in the searchable record. The most prominent tracked matter is Krueger International v. Aloft Media (declaratory judgment of non-infringement/invalidity, assigned to Judge William C. Griesbach after a recusal). I found no evidence of Dyro appearing as counsel in IPR/PGR proceedings — the firm's PTAB practice is led by others (Olejniczak, Christopher Liro). Bar and education: admitted in Wisconsin and registered before the USPTO; J.D., Notre Dame Law School (cum laude; Notre Dame Law Review), B.S. mechanical engineering, Notre Dame. Note on disambiguation: a Hartford, Connecticut listing for a "John P Dyro" appears to be a different attorney and is not the Andrus associate.
