Marshall J. Deavenport

Marshall J. Deavenport — Patent Litigation Practice Summary

Specialty / focus areas. Publicly available information about Mr. Deavenport's patent practice is extremely thin. Web searches return no verifiable profile, firm biography, or case coverage for an attorney by this name, so no technology-area specialization (e.g., standards-essential patents, pharma, software, or mechanical arts) can be confirmed from reliable sources. The sole tracked matter, AutoConnect Holdings LLC v. Unknown, involves an AutoConnect Holdings entity — a name pattern consistent with non-practicing-entity (NPE) assertion activity — but the underlying technology is not documented.

Side preference. Based on the authoritative case list, Mr. Deavenport has made one tracked appearance, entirely on the defendant side (1 defendant appearance; 0 plaintiff appearances). That profile is consistent with a practice defending operating companies against patent assertions, though a single appearance is too small a sample to characterize a firm side preference.

Firm context. The only firm associated with Mr. Deavenport's tracked litigation work is Gillam & Smith, where he served as counsel in AutoConnect Holdings LLC v. Unknown. No prior law firms or in-house positions could be verified, and no current firm affiliation is independently corroborated by web sources.

Notable cases / outcomes. The only tracked case is AutoConnect Holdings LLC v. Unknown (defendant representation). No verdicts, settlements, or Federal Circuit appeals involving Mr. Deavenport could be located or verified through court opinions, Law360, Reuters, or Justia. No PTAB/IPR or PGR appearances were found.

Caveat on credentials. Because independent web research returned no results for this attorney, bar admissions, education, prior firm history, and IPR experience could not be reliably sourced and are omitted rather than inferred. If this attorney practices under a slightly different name spelling or is newly admitted, his background may simply not yet be indexed in the searched databases.
