Robert E. Aycock

Robert E. Aycock is a seasoned intellectual property litigator and transactional attorney at Kimball Anderson, where he serves as Of Counsel. His practice is comprehensive, encompassing patent, trademark, and copyright infringement litigation, alongside matters involving trade secrets, false advertising, and unfair competition. Mr. Aycock also provides legal opinions on patent validity, infringement, unenforceability, and patentability. His technical background in biology supports his work across diverse industries, including communication networks, sports and recreational equipment, kitchen appliances, exercise equipment, and blow-molded plastics.

While Mr. Aycock acted as local counsel for the plaintiff in the tracked case Dish Technologies L.L.C. et al. v. Eastlink, his broader experience demonstrates work on both sides of patent disputes. Notably, he led a defense team to a landmark jury verdict of non-infringement and invalidity in ATEN TECHNOLOGY, CO. LTD. v. UNICLASS TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD., et al. (C.D. Cal. 2017). This significant outcome in a multinational patent dispute over keyboard-video-mouse switch technology substantially reduced the client's potential liability.

Before joining Kimball Anderson, which was founded in 2021, Mr. Aycock was an attorney at Kirton McConkie PC. While his firm emphasizes a broad range of IP services, explicit mentions of regular PTAB or IPR experience were not found in available public profiles.

Mr. Aycock earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law in 2000, where he received the Dewsnup Fellowship. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Biology, cum laude, from Utah State University. He is admitted to the Utah State Bar.
