Megan Elise Griffith — Patent Litigation Practice Summary

Practice focus. Griffith's patent docket centers on telecommunications/wireless-network and electrical/software technology. She was part of the Susman Godfrey team that secured a $166.3 million jury verdict for Finesse Wireless LLC against AT&T Mobility and Nokia of America (E.D. Tex., Jan. 2023) over wireless-network patents directed to passive intermodulation cancellation (U.S. Patent Nos. 7,346,134 and 9,548,775) — the full lump-sum damages sought, with the jury rejecting invalidity defenses. More recently she appears on the plaintiff side in ChargeLogic LLC v. Tesla, Inc. (W.D. Tex., filed Mar. 2026), involving EV-charging control patents. Her Susman Godfrey bio also lists trade-secret, energy, and commercial litigation work; Law360 dockets additionally connect her to patent and trade-secret matters for gaming-technology companies.

Side preference and firm context. Griffith has worked both sides of the docket: of her eight tracked appearances, four are plaintiff-side and four are defendant-side, split between patent-owner/NPE representations (Finesse Wireless, ChargeLogic) and defense work for operating companies. All tracked appearances are at Susman Godfrey L.L.P., where she is an associate in the Houston office; no prior law-firm positions relevant to patent litigation were identified. The firm's profile describes her practice as encompassing IP litigation for both plaintiffs and defendants.

Notable matters and PTAB exposure. The marquee result is the Finesse Wireless verdict against AT&T/Nokia, widely reported (Law360, Reuters, Texas Lawbook). The ChargeLogic v. Tesla case is pending and still in its early stages; Tesla has filed multiple IPR petitions (IPR2026-00378, -00381, -00382, filed June 2026) challenging the asserted ChargeLogic patents, though Griffith's personal appearance in those PTAB proceedings is not confirmed from available records. No other verifiable PTAB/PGR appearances were found.

Bar and education. J.D., Columbia Law School (2016), with a Master in Economic Law from Sciences Po; licensed in Texas (2021); selected to the Texas Super Lawyers Rising Stars list (2025–2026).
