Johnson K. Kuncheria

I'll research this attorney before drafting. Let me run several searches.

Let me verify case outcomes and additional background.

Johnson K. Kuncheria — patent litigation summary

Focus areas. Kuncheria's practice centers on patent and IP litigation for technology and life sciences clients, with stated experience spanning electrical and computer engineering, wireless communications, networking, software, and medical devices (Fenwick & West attorney profile). His docket reflects that mix: wireless/standards-adjacent matters (LTE cellular, 802.11 Wi-Fi, Bluetooth/messaging), streaming and audio/video coding (VideoLabs, WAG Acquisition), and internet advertising technology (AlmondNet). His firm bio also lists videoconferencing, semiconductor packaging, battery charging, and mobile Internet matters, and notes patent prosecution and technology-transfer work in addition to litigation.

Side preference. All four tracked appearances are on the defendant side (0 plaintiff / 4 defendant), and the pattern in his broader bio is the same: defense of operating companies — Amazon, BlackBerry/Research In Motion, AT&T Mobility, and Infineon — against NPE/PAE-style patent assertions. The one notable exception in his published bio is Fujitsu Limited v. Belkin Int'l (N.D. Cal.), where he assisted in asserting Fujitsu's patents, indicating some patent-owner-side experience earlier in his career. He is not, on this record, a plaintiff-side or NPE litigation specialist.

Firm context. He is currently at Fenwick & West LLP (Mountain View/Silicon Valley), where his tracked work is concentrated on Amazon matters, including VideoLabs, Inc. v. Amazon.com, Inc., Flexiworld Technologies, Inc. v. Amazon.com Inc., and AlmondNet, Inc. v. Amazon.com, Inc. (W.D. Tex.). Before Fenwick, court filings and directory listings place him at Baker Botts LLP in Dallas (notices of appearance for BlackBerry and RIM, 2012–2014), and his Fenwick bio notes that some listed matters "include work from a previous firm." He is not in-house.

Notable matters and PTAB/IPR work. The most prominent tracked case is AlmondNet, Inc. v. Amazon.com, Inc. (W.D. Tex., No. 6:21-cv-00898), in which a Waco jury returned a ~$122 million verdict against Amazon in June 2024 (later bumped to roughly $136 million with interest; the court denied Amazon's post-trial challenge in December 2025). Kuncheria appears on Amazon's Fenwick defense team in that docket; press coverage of the trial itself named the Fenwick trial lawyers as Hadden, Shamilov, Ranganath, McGann, Trainor, and Hoffman, so his specific role at trial is not independently confirmed. He is also listed as counsel for Amazon in VideoLabs and in the Flexiworld matters, and as appellees' counsel in the Federal Circuit appeal from the WAG Acquisition IPRs (Nos. 2024-1627 et al.), which was affirmed without opinion under Rule 36 on March 9, 2026. His profile states that he represents clients in inter partes review proceedings before the PTAB, and he is named on Amazon's counsel team in IPR2022-01430 and IPR2022-01433 (WAG Acquisition), confirming regular PTAB involvement.

Bar / education. Admitted in Texas (2009; Tex. Bar No. 24070092) and California (CSB No. 335765); registered to practice before the USPTO (Reg. No. 69,093). J.D., SMU Dedman School of Law, 2009. Named a Texas Rising Star in IP, 2016–2019.

Note: no reliable source was found confirming his undergraduate degree or any trial verdicts attributed to him individually; the outcome details above are for cases in which he appears as counsel.
