Robert T. Stewart

Robert T. Stewart is a senior counsel in the Salt Lake City office of Foley & Lardner LLP. His practice centers on high-stakes business disputes, including matters of patent infringement, trade secret misappropriation, and false advertising. The technologies involved in his patent work include smart home and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, based on his representation of Vivint, Inc.

The attorney's tracked case history shows work exclusively for the defendant side in patent litigation. In his single tracked case, he served as trial counsel for Vivint, a large operating company, defending against infringement claims brought by IOT Innovations, LLC, a non-practicing entity (NPE) that has filed numerous suits in the smart home technology sector. This aligns with his firm's broader description of his practice, which includes representing technology companies in complex litigation.

Mr. Stewart has been with Foley & Lardner for his entire tracked appearance history. His official biography does not specify any experience in inter partes review (IPR) or other Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) proceedings, and none could be identified from publicly available sources.

He is admitted to practice in California, Nevada, and Utah. Mr. Stewart earned his J.D. from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, William S. Boyd School of Law and his B.A. from Brigham Young University.
