Robert Blunt

Robert Blunt’s patent litigation practice, as primarily indicated by available records, centers on a single tracked appearance as Local Counsel for the plaintiff in a significant wireless communications patent dispute. His role was associated with the firm Parker Blunt & Ainsworth.

In the case of Headwater Research LLC v. Verizon Communications Inc. et al., Mr. Blunt served as Local Counsel for the plaintiff, Headwater Research LLC, a non-practicing entity focused on asserting patents in the mobile device and wireless connectivity space. The case involved allegations of infringement concerning patented wireless communications technology, particularly related to intelligent data policy management for mobile devices. While a jury initially awarded Headwater Research LLC $175 million in damages against Verizon, this verdict was later tossed by the presiding judge.

Beyond this specific local counsel appearance, comprehensive details regarding Robert Blunt's broader patent litigation specialty, extensive firm history in patent law, or a significant portfolio of notable patent litigation outcomes (such as verdicts, Federal Circuit appeals, or widely reported settlements) were not readily available through public web searches. Similarly, information regarding his regular involvement in PTAB/IPR proceedings could not be reliably sourced.

While a Robert Marion Blunt IV in Austin, Texas, is listed as an attorney practicing business law, intellectual property, and entertainment & sports law, with a focus on contracts, copyright, and trademarks within the entertainment industry, this profile does not clearly align with a patent litigation specialty, and a direct link to the "Parker Blunt & Ainsworth" firm or the Headwater patent case as a lead patent litigator could not be established through verifiable public records. His education includes a BA from Southwestern University and a JD from the University of Houston Law Center, and he is licensed in Texas. However, without further disambiguation, this information cannot be definitively attributed to the Robert Blunt who served as local counsel in the patent case.
