Santos Garza

Santos Garza is an intellectual property advisor at Susman Godfrey, focusing his practice on patent litigation. His work primarily involves representing patent owners in asserting and defending their intellectual property rights.

Garza is a member of the trial team representing Data Health Partners, LLC, in their patent infringement lawsuit against Teladoc Health, Inc., in the District of Delaware. This case, Data Health Partners, LLC v. Teladoc Health, Inc., centers on patents related to optimizing goal progression and outcomes within the digital health domain, specifically applying behavioral science to chronic condition management. In a significant development, the Susman Godfrey team, including Garza, successfully opposed Teladoc Health's motion to dismiss claims on "abstract idea" grounds, with the court ruling that the patents addressed a non-abstract idea of improving patient goal monitoring.

Beyond district court litigation, the dispute also extends to inter partes review (IPR) proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), where Teladoc Health Inc. has challenged patents owned by Data Health Partners Inc. (e.g., IPR2026-00390, IPR2024-00617). While specific details of Garza's role in the PTAB filings are not publicly available, his position as an intellectual property advisor for Data Health Partners at Susman Godfrey suggests involvement in defending these patents against validity challenges.
