Martha Decker

Martha L. Decker is an intellectual property litigator with experience in federal district courts and at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Her practice has involved representing both plaintiffs and defendants in patent infringement litigation. While her general focus is on IP litigation, publicly available information does not specify a focus on any particular technology sector.

Based on a limited number of tracked cases, Ms. Decker does not show a strong side preference, having represented both patent holders and accused infringers. She served as local counsel for the defendant in Ironburg Inventions Ltd. v. Collective Minds Gaming Co. Ltd., a case involving patents on video game controller technology. She has also appeared for plaintiffs, including in the patent infringement case Intellectual Sporting Goods v. StarPro Greens and for the plaintiff-appellant in Zapmedia Services, Inc. v. Apple, Inc. before the Federal Circuit. No significant trial outcomes or PTAB experience are noted in the public record.

Ms. Decker was associated with the Atlanta-based firm Hill, Kertscher & Wharton, LLP. The firm appeared as Hill Kertscher & Pixley LLP in the 2016 Ironburg case. However, a court filing in an appeal before the Federal Circuit in August 2024 stated that she was "no longer with the firm," and her current affiliation is not readily apparent from public sources. She has also represented her own firm in litigation.

Admitted to the State Bar of Georgia in 2008, Ms. Decker earned her law degree from Vanderbilt University Law School.
