Richard Charles Weinblatt

I'll research this attorney before drafting the summary.

Let me gather more detail on notable cases, PTAB experience, and the tracked Sampo case.

Richard Charles Weinblatt — Stamoulis & Weinblatt LLC (Wilmington, DE)

Weinblatt's practice centers on patent litigation and Federal Circuit appellate work, with a technical range spanning computer hardware and software, computer memory systems, video compression, semiconductor fabrication, communications/business-method patents, and mechanical, chemical, consumer-product, and food-product arts. He has been a registered patent agent (USPTO Reg. No. 45,500) since 2000 and also handles prosecution, validity/infringement and freedom-to-operate opinions, licensing, and IP due diligence.

Side preference. The tracked case list shows a single appearance, all plaintiff-side (Sampo IP LLC v. Intuit Inc.), and public docket records are consistent with that orientation: his docket is dominated by representation of patent owners and NPE/PAE-type plaintiffs — e.g., Visual Memory, Bartonfalls, Tangelo IP, Aurelian IP Management, Clean Energy Management Solutions, Ameranth, Wireless Media Innovations, SOTAT, and DataCloud Technologies. His earlier firm career included operating-company defense work (e.g., defending Microsoft), so he has experience on both sides, but his post-2012 practice has skewed heavily toward asserting patents for plaintiffs. Note that the tracked database reflects only one appearance; the additional matters above come from court docket records rather than the authoritative case list.

Firm context. He co-founded Stamoulis & Weinblatt LLC, where he is a partner. Before that he was at Fish & Richardson P.C. (patent litigation focus) and began his career at an IP boutique that merged into WolfBlock LLP.

Notable matters and results. His most cited win is Visual Memory, LLC v. NVIDIA Corp. (Fed. Cir. 2017), where he argued for reversal of a district court § 101 dismissal — the Federal Circuit held the computer memory system claims patent-eligible, a decision IPWatchdog flagged as among the most noteworthy of 2017. Earlier, at Fish & Richardson, he defended Microsoft in Multimedia Patent Trust v. Microsoft (S.D. Cal.), where the jury returned a verdict of no infringement on the video-compression patent and awarded no damages despite MPT's $400M+ demand. The tracked case, Sampo IP LLC v. Intuit Inc. (D. Del. 1:14-cv-00174, filed Feb. 2014), was part of a five-suit campaign by Sampo (a Marathon Patent Group subsidiary) asserting "centrifugal communication and collaboration" patents against Facebook, Intuit, LinkedIn, Amazon, and eBay.

PTAB/IPR. He appears in PTAB proceedings on the patent-owner side, including serving as backup counsel for New York University in ResMed Inc. v. New York University (IPR2022-00988), and has litigated district-court stays pending IPR (arguing Sotera-stipulation and discretionary-denial issues).

Bar/education. University of Delaware, B.A. Chemistry and Criminal Justice (1998); Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law, J.D. (2001). Admitted in Pennsylvania (2001), New Jersey (2001), Delaware (2007), New York (2009), and before the USPTO (2000).
