Roger D. Sanders

Roger D. Sanders is a seasoned litigator with over five decades of experience, whose practice encompasses intellectual property disputes, including patent infringement, trade secret, and copyright law, alongside general business and complex commercial litigation. His patent litigation experience, as indicated by tracked cases, involves technology related to mobile device application development.

Sanders primarily represents plaintiffs, often described as "individuals and small businesses" seeking to hold "big banks, giant insurance companies, or Fortune 500 powerhouses accountable." His single tracked patent appearance, Wapp Tech Limited Partnership et al. v. Bank of America Corporation, aligns with this plaintiff-side focus. While his firm's profile notes occasional engagements by larger companies in "battles between equals," the overarching theme emphasizes representing the smaller entity against formidable opponents.

Throughout his career, Sanders has been a senior partner and president at Sanders O'Hanlon, Motley & Young, or its derivatives, from 1983 through 2022. He currently operates The Law Offices of Roger Sanders and serves as Of Counsel at Siebman Law, LLP.

A notable patent case in which he has appeared is Wapp Tech Limited Partnership et al. v. Bank of America Corporation. This case is part of a broader patent campaign that previously led to a $172 million jury verdict and a $67.5 million settlement in a related action against Micro Focus International PLC, concerning patents generally related to systems for developing mobile device applications. No information regarding his regular appearance in PTAB or IPR proceedings is readily available.

Sanders earned his B.A. from Baylor University in 1970 and his J.D., cum laude, from Baylor University School of Law in 1971. He was admitted to the Texas bar in 1973 and is also admitted to practice before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (1992), among other federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.
