Specialty & background

I'll research this attorney's professional background before drafting the summary.

Let me dig further into this attorney's case history, firm affiliations, and PTAB experience.

Richard E. Parke — Patent Litigation Profile

Specialty / focus areas. The tracked case list shows a single patent matter, and the docket entry is untitled in the underlying data, so the technology at issue cannot be confirmed from that record. Web-searchable biographical material for a Richard E. Parke practicing IP litigation in New York describes a generalist IP-litigation practice spanning semiconductor manufacturing, medical devices, telecommunications, data encryption, assay methods, food chemistry, consumer products, and pharmaceutical products. That description aligns with public prosecution records showing work on wireless/CDMA and communications patents (e.g., Sony broadcast/transmission applications) and a pharmaceutical ANDA-related FDA petition (propoxyphene/acetaminophen). Note that the practice-description and USPTO registration data come from third-party directories and may be stale.

Side preference. Based on the authoritative case list, his one tracked appearance was on the defendant side (0 plaintiff / 1 defendant). That is a very thin sample and should not be read as a reliable indication that he works exclusively for defendants; historically he appears to have represented both patent owners/prosecution clients and accused infringers.

Firm context. The tracked matter lists him as of counsel at Kenealy Vaidya LLP, a small Washington, D.C.-based IP boutique (roughly eight lawyers). Public directory and registration records associate a Richard E. Parke over time with Morgan Lewis (mid-1990s), Frommer Lawrence & Haug LLP / Haug Partners LLP (New York, as partner), and Wissing Miller LLP (per current USPTO registration). Whether all of these are the same individual as the Kenealy Vaidya "of counsel" cannot be conclusively verified — multiple attorneys may share this name, and directory listings are frequently outdated. This should be confirmed before relying on it.

Notable cases / outcomes. The only company-specific litigation reference located is Kimberly-Clark Corp. v. Paragon Trade Brands (N.D. Tex. 1995), listed under his Morgan Lewis profile on Law360 — an old matter with no reported outcome verified here. No verdicts, Federal Circuit appeals, or settlements attributable to him could be confirmed.

PTAB / IPR experience. No IPR, PGR, or other PTAB appearance by him personally was found. Kenealy Vaidya does appear in PTAB proceedings (e.g., IPR2019-00581, Associated British Foods v. Cornell Research Foundation), but the counsel of record there was Ajit J. Vaidya, not Parke. Treat his PTAB experience as unverified.

Bar / education. If the New York IP litigator profile is the same person: admitted New Jersey (1990) and New York (1991), registered with the USPTO, admitted before the Federal Circuit and several district courts; J.D., New York Law School (1990); B.S., U.S. Military Academy (1984). These credentials are listed on third-party directories (Martindale, FindLaw) and are not independently confirmed by a primary source here.
