Robin A. Snader

I'll research this attorney before drafting.

Let me dig into the firm bio, the Orca/Wiz cases, and PTAB activity.

Let me verify his firm bio, doctorate, and bar admissions.

Robin A. Snader — Erise IP, P.A. (Overland Park, KS / Denver, CO)

Focus areas. His tracked litigation work centers on cloud-security and cybersecurity software: all three appearances arise from the Orca Security–Wiz dispute, which involves cloud workload/internet-exposure assessment, security graph modeling, and more recently AI/LLM-based threat detection and AI-model risk scanning (e.g., the Orca-filed IPRs on U.S. Patents 12,003,529 and 12,001,549). Beyond that dispute, his prosecution docket (per USPTO-based PatentBots data on applications he has handled) spans mechanical/electromechanical and medical-device work, aviation, automotive, and consumer products — clients include Altec Industries, Ascensia Diabetes Care, Applied Research Associates, Spinal Simplicity, Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, Textron Aviation, Digital Ally, ERGO Baby Carrier, and Flex-N-Gate. I found no evidence of Wi-Fi/standards-essential-patent or pharmaceutical litigation practice.

Side preference. The tracked record is entirely plaintiff-side (3 plaintiff, 0 defendant), and in the Orca matters Erise IP appears for the patent owner/petitioner — Orca Security, an operating cloud-security vendor rather than a PAE. His PTAB record is more mixed: he has also worked on the patent-owner defense side, including back-up counsel for Nielsen in TVision Insights v. The Nielsen Company (IPR2023-01014) and, per Erise's own announcement, on the Erise team that won a merits-based non-institution of three IPRs brought by Free Stream Media (d/b/a Samba) against Gracenote. Net: predominantly patent-owner/plaintiff side, not a high-volume NPE practice.

Firm context. He has been at Erise IP, P.A. since roughly 2015, starting as an associate, later described by the firm as a senior associate, and now identified as a shareholder (Ph.D.) in PTAB correspondence signatures from 2025. Erise is an IP boutique founded in 2012 by former large-firm IP lawyers, handling litigation, PTAB, prosecution, and counseling out of Overland Park and Denver. No prior-firm history was verifiable.

Notable matters and PTAB experience. Orca Security Ltd. v. Wiz, Inc., No. 1:23-cv-00758-JLH-SRF (D. Del.) — Orca asserted six patents against Wiz; the case was stayed pending IPR in January 2025, and after the PTAB found all claims of Orca's '031, '032 and '685 patents unpatentable (Dec. 8, 2025), the case was dismissed with prejudice (Jan. 13, 2026). On Orca's side, five IPR petitions Snader filed on Orca's behalf on June 4, 2025 (IPR2025-01083 through -01087) drew institution on two patents ('896 and '529) and denial on two others ('554 and '549) on Dec. 15, 2025. He appears regularly in PTAB proceedings as lead or back-up counsel, though his PTAB docket is modest relative to his prosecution and district-court work. Note: publicly filed notices in the Delaware action list Orca's district-court counsel as Latham & Watkins/Weil and Morris Nichols; Erise's verified role for Orca is as IPR counsel, so the tracker's characterization of the district-court appearances should be confirmed against the docket.

Bar / education. J.D., University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Law (2014); licensed in Kansas since 2015; USPTO Reg. No. 66,085; holds a Ph.D. (field not verified in available sources); Super Lawyers Rising Stars (Kansas IP), 2023–2025.
