I'll research this attorney before drafting.

Ramsey Schultz — Patent Litigation Practice Summary

Overview and limits of the record. The tracked appearance data for Ramsey Schultz is minimal — a single entry, as counsel for a defendant, associated with Duane Morris. That tracks the public record: Ms. Schultz is an associate in Duane Morris's Trial Practice Group whose documented practice centers on construction litigation (defect, delay, cost-escalation, and project-workout disputes, plus construction liens), with additional complex commercial litigation work in banking/finance, insurance, health care, real estate, and energy. Duane Morris's own profile does not describe a patent practice, and Best Lawyers lists her in Litigation – Construction. Her patent litigation work therefore appears to be recent and secondary — as a member of a Duane Morris trial team, not an independently established IP practice.

Technology areas and side preference. The two searchable patent matters bearing her name both sit in the smart-home / home-security and consumer-device space: Zinser v. Vivint, LLC, No. 4:25-cv-01030 (E.D. Tex.), an inventor suit over U.S. Patent No. 7,583,191 on video-doorbell remote surveillance and communication (asserting reexamination claims 21–47), and Malikie Innovations Ltd. v. ADT, Inc., No. 2:25-cv-00554 (E.D. Tex.), in which the NPE Malikie (a BlackBerry patent spin-off) asserts IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) standards-essential and consumer-UI patents against ADT, Vivint, and NRG Energy. Both are defense-side representations of operating companies; there is no indication in the available record of plaintiff-side or NPE/PAE work. This is consistent with the tracked counts (0 plaintiff-side, 1 defendant-side).

Firm context, notable matters, PTAB. Ms. Schultz has been at Duane Morris since 2022 (Dallas and Austin offices); before that she was a staff attorney in the Children's Program at RAICES (2021–2022). Her most prominent patent matter is Zinser v. Vivint, where she entered her appearance for Vivint in January 2026; the court (Judge Mazzant) denied Vivint's Rule 12(b)(6) motion in August 2026, allowing direct, induced, and willful infringement claims to proceed — a defense-side loss at the pleading stage, later-stage outcomes not yet verifiable. In the parallel Malikie litigation, Vivint (with Duane Morris as counsel) filed IPR2026-00120 challenging U.S. Patent No. 11,119,756, and IPR2026-00300 was filed against the Zinser '191 patent. However, the PTAB filings I could review list Patrick McPherson, Patrick Muldoon, and Gilbert Greene as Duane Morris's IPR counsel; I found no evidence that Ms. Schultz personally appears in IPR/PGR proceedings. Her role in the Malikie district court matter is likewise not independently confirmed beyond a Law360 docket listing.

Bar and education. Admitted in Texas and before the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern, Southern, Western, and Northern Districts of Texas; J.D., University of Texas School of Law (2021); B.S., University of Colorado Boulder (2017). Sourced to the Duane Morris profile. Note: the name is uncommon and I found no conflicting attorney with this name; the prior-art references to a "Schultz" and "Ramsey" in unrelated IPRs are different individuals.
