Monte Terrell Squire

I'll research this attorney's background and verify the details.

Let me verify the specific tracked cases and PTAB activity.

Let me dig into the two specific tracked cases and PTAB docket presence.

Monté T. Squire — Duane Morris LLP (Wilmington, Del.)

Specialty / focus. Squire is a Delaware-focused IP litigator whose practice spans the District of Delaware's patent docket across a wide technology mix: computer software and internet technology, telecommunications and network security, semiconductor technology, biomedical devices, life sciences and pharmaceuticals, aeronautical equipment, mobile navigation, and solar-power hardware. His technical foundation is a B.S. in chemical engineering (University of Delaware) and roughly a decade as an R&D engineer/product manager at LyondellBasell before law school, and firm/Chambers profiles describe him as a Delaware counsel of choice for technology, pharmaceutical and medical-device clients. Tracked matters are consistent with that range — gaming/systems patents (his appearance for GAN in GAN (UK) Ltd. v. MGM Resorts Int'l, D. Del. 1:22-cv-00361), network security (appearance for SonicWall in DataCloud Technologies, LLC v. SonicWall Inc., D. Del. 1:24-cv-00978, per Law.com Radar), and hypoglossal-nerve-stimulation medical devices via the Unified Patents v. Inspire Medical Systems matter.

Side preference. The tracked list (1 plaintiff-side, 2 defendant-side) understates how genuinely two-sided his practice is. The bulk of his activity is defense of operating companies — he is lead counsel for NETGEAR in Velocity Communication Technologies, LLC v. NETGEAR, Inc. (D. Del. 1:25-cv-00894), a non-practicing-entity assertion, and the tracked docket has him on the defense side in another untitled Delaware matter. But he also acts for patent owners and plaintiffs: he appeared as lead attorney for plaintiff GAN (UK) Ltd. in GAN v. MGM Resorts, represented plaintiff Unirac, Inc. in two Delaware solar-infrastructure patent suits (favorable claim construction for Unirac on nearly all disputed terms, followed by settlement and dismissal), and has appeared for plaintiff-side entities in more recent Delaware filings. So: primarily an operating-company/IP-owner-side litigator, comfortable on either side.

Firm context and PTAB experience. Squire has been a partner in Duane Morris's Intellectual Property Practice Group in Wilmington since June 2021. Before that he was an Administrative Patent Judge and PTAB member at the USPTO from 2015 to 2021, hearing IPRs and appeals, and prior to that was an IP and commercial litigation attorney at Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor (2005–2008, 2009–2015), after clerking for Judge Gregory M. Sleet on the District of Delaware. His PTAB work is a core competency rather than a sideline: he appears as counsel in IPR proceedings (e.g., lead counsel for patent owner OnPoint Systems in Protect Animals With Satellites, LLC v. OnPoint Systems, LLC, IPR2021-01483), and the tracked Unified Patents v. Inspire Medical Systems matter — Unified Patents being a defensive aggregator that typically files PTAB challenges rather than district court suits — most likely arises in that forum. I could not independently verify the forum, posture, or outcome of that matter from public sources, so it should be treated as unconfirmed beyond the docket listing.

Bar / education. Admitted in Delaware, New Jersey, and before the USPTO (Reg. No. 80,123), the Federal Circuit, Third Circuit, and several district courts; J.D. cum laude, Widener University School of Law (2005); M.B.A., Wilmington College (1999); B.Chem.Eng., University of Delaware (1995). He also serves as a Special Master for the District of Delaware and on the court's Lawyer Advisory Committee — court appointments, not client results, but relevant to his standing in that venue. No specific verdicts, Federal Circuit rulings, or damages awards attributable to him surfaced in searchable sources; his documented wins are claim-construction rulings and case resolutions short of trial.
