Patricia Y. Ho

I'll research this attorney before drafting.

Let me verify PTAB/IPR activity and notable litigation.

Patricia Y. "Patty" Ho — patent litigation practice summary

Focus and technology areas. Ho is a Denver-based IP and commercial litigator and registered patent attorney (USPTO Reg. No. 58972) whose practice spans patent, trade secret, and trademark litigation, plus IP licensing, diligence, and patent prosecution. Her firm bio describes industries including software start-ups, product packaging manufacturers and distributors, and other business services, and USPTO filing records associate her with mechanical and consumer-product/medical-device applicants (e.g., Autoneum, Mighty Oak Medical, Nite Ize). Her single tracked litigation matter is mechanical/consumer-infrastructure rather than standards-based: aerial adventure park challenge-course and zip-track systems. There is no indication in the tracked data of Wi-Fi/SEP or pharma work.

Side preference. The tracked data (1 appearance, plaintiff side, 0 defense) reflects a plaintiff-side posture in that matter, but the sample is too thin to establish a firm-side preference. Her public practice description indicates a mixed litigation practice covering both enforcement and defense across commercial and IP disputes, so the plaintiff-only figure should be read as a snapshot rather than a specialty. The tracked plaintiff, JiMi IP, LLC, is characterized in litigation coverage as a patent assertion and IP licensor — i.e., an NPE-adjacent client — working alongside co-plaintiff Rope Courses, Inc.

Firm context. Ho has been a Partner at FisherBroyles, LLP since October 2023, joining from Sheridan Ross P.C., where she spent roughly two decades and where she was listed as Of Counsel. Earlier-tier firm affiliation is the relevant context; she has no in-house role in the available record.

Notable matters, PTAB, and credentials. JiMi IP, LLC et al. v. Funcity Adventure Park, LLC (N.D. Ill., No. 1:24-cv-05275, Judge Harjani) asserted three zip-track/challenge-course patents (U.S. 10,478,737; 8,066,578; 11,376,513). The case terminated in April 2025 by stipulation under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) — dismissal without prejudice, with each side bearing its own fees and costs, and conversion to dismissal with prejudice if no enforcement proceeding was filed within 90 days; there was no merits ruling or damages award. Public dockets also show her seeking pro hac vice admission for JiMi IP plaintiffs in JiMi IP, LLC et al. v. WA7 Volli (W.D. Wash., No. 2:26-cv-03272); this matter is not in the tracked list and the docket noted the pro hac vice application was not processed at that time, so her appearance there should be treated as unconfirmed. On PTAB/IPR: her FisherBroyles bio states she has appeared and argued before the PTAB and chaired inter partes reexamination proceedings, but I found no evidence of current or regular IPR/PGR filings in her name, so she should not be described as a regular PTAB practitioner. Bar/education: admitted in Colorado (2006) and before the USPTO, D. Colo., E.D. Tex., and the Federal Circuit; J.D., University of Colorado, 2006; B.A., University of Washington, 2002.
