Patent litigation attorney

Michael S. Marron

2 tracked appearances — 1 plaintiff · 1 defendant.

Specialty & background

Practice focus. Michael S. Marron is a litigation partner at Patrick Doerr LLP (New York), where his practice centers on complex commercial and business disputes — contract, securities and shareholder-derivative, RICO, antitrust, and class-action matters — rather than patent law as a primary specialty. His sole tracked patent appearance is defense-side: counsel for patent owner Bulletproof Property Management LLC in Unified Patents, LLC v. Bulletproof Property Management LLC, an inter partes review in which Unified Patents was the petitioner. The technology at issue is automotive — Bulletproof's "vehicle gear selection control" patents (mechanical/vehicle-controls, not software, standards, or pharma).

Side and firm context. With one tracked appearance, no side pattern can be inferred beyond a defendant/patent-owner role against an IPR challenger — here, defending an enforcement-oriented patent holder against a Unified Patents petition. That matter sits within a broader campaign over the same Bulletproof portfolio: Bulletproof sued Tesla in the Western District of Texas, and Tesla's seven IPRs against those patents (IPR2026-00204 et al.) drew a June 15, 2026 USPTO Director decision declining discretionary denial, designated "informative" and widely covered by IP Watchdog, Sterne Kessler, and Brooks Kushman. Marron's tracked appearance is the separate Unified Patents proceeding; his firm represents Bulletproof across the campaign. His firm bio notes he has represented large Silicon Valley technology companies and handled internal investigations, but lists no prior firms or patent-specific credentials.

PTAB/IPR and credentials. The Unified Patents matter is an IPR, so Marron has PTAB exposure, but the tracked record shows a single appearance and no basis to describe a regular IPR/PGR practice. Bar and education could not be reliably verified: a Martindale profile for a "Michael Marron" (B.A./LL.B. National University of Ireland Galway; J.D. Seattle University 2002; Washington bar 2002; in-house at Expedia) appears to be a different attorney with the same name and should not be attributed to him.
