Ryan Griffin

I'll research this attorney's professional background, being careful to disambiguate given "Ryan Griffin" is a common name.

Let me verify notable outcomes and IPR/PTAB experience.

Ryan Griffin (Texas Bar No. 24053687) is a Dallas/Fort Worth–based patent litigator whose tracked docket is concentrated in electrical and computer technology. His cases cluster around wireless data transfer and driverless/"pervasive output" software (the Flexiworld Technologies campaigns against Amazon, Roku, Lexmark, Epson, Canon, and Hisense), semiconductor and memory devices (Palisade Technologies' NAND/DRAM and voltage-regulator patents against Micron and T-Mobile), and consumer electronics. His technical background — a B.S. in electrical engineering with a computer engineering specialty from UT Austin and prior work as a control systems engineer — aligns with that hardware/software mix rather than pharma or mechanical arts.

Side preference. The structured data shows a uniform plaintiff-side practice: 9 of 9 tracked appearances are for plaintiffs, zero for defendants. He represents patent owners and monetization-oriented entities rather than defending operating companies, and he is frequently designated lead or noticed counsel on those matters. His two-year stint as Chief Operating Officer of Endpoint IP LLC, a Dallas patent acquisition and monetization entity (2019–2020), is consistent with that orientation and with the firm's description of his insight into "the issues patent owners face."

Firm context. He is currently a shareholder at Nelson Bumgardner Conroy PC, which operates from Fort Worth and Dallas and is the successor name to Nelson Bumgardner Albritton PC (the same practice rebranded; both names appear in his tracked cases). He joined the firm as an associate in 2009, became partner in 2014, was a shareholder from 2021, and helped launch its Dallas office in 2021. Earlier in his career he was an associate at Fulbright & Jaworski LLP (now Norton Rose Fulbright), focusing on patent prosecution and litigation.

Notable matters. His most prominent tracked work is the Flexiworld Technologies patent portfolio litigation (e.g., Flexiworld Technologies, Inc. v. Amazon.com, Inc.; Flexiworld Technologies, Inc. v. Roku, Inc.; and Roku, Inc. v. Flexiworld Technologies, Inc.), which resolved through settlement and license agreements in 2022. In Palisade Technologies, LLP v. Micron Technology, Inc. (W.D. Tex., filed Oct. 2024), he appeared for the plaintiff in a multi-patent NAND/DRAM suit that has been stayed pending Micron's IPRs; the court recommended dismissal of the pre-suit willfulness allegations while allowing post-suit willfulness to proceed. He is also listed as lead counsel in Palisade Technologies LLP v. T-Mobile USA, Inc. Separately, the PTAB upheld Flexiworld's U.S. Patent No. 9,836,257 against a Unified Patents obviousness challenge in 2023 — a win for his firm's client, though the PTAB filings I located name other Nelson Bumgardner attorneys (Brent Bumgardner, Charles Ginnings, T. William Kennedy) as counsel of record rather than Griffin.

PTAB / IPR experience. The public record I could verify shows Griffin primarily in district court; I did not find IPR or PGR filings naming him as counsel of record, so his personal PTAB appearance history is not well sourced here, even though his firm and clients are active in IPR proceedings (the Flexiworld/Roku and Palisade/Micron IPRs). He is a member of the State Bar of Texas (licensed 2007) and admitted to the federal district courts for the Northern, Eastern, and Western Districts of Texas and the Eastern Districts of Arkansas and Michigan. He earned his J.D. magna cum laude from SMU Dedman School of Law in 2007 (Order of the Coif, SMU Law Review).

Note: "Ryan Griffin" is a common name; these details are tied to Ryan Paul Griffin of Nelson Bumgardner Conroy (Texas Bar No. 24053687), not to unrelated attorneys sharing the name.
