Scott A. Herbst

I'll research this attorney before writing the summary.

Professional Summary — Scott A. Herbst

Specialty / focus areas. The data available on this attorney is very thin, and I was unable to verify a technology focus from the sources I could reach. The profile contains a single tracked patent case, and its case name field is unpopulated, so there is no patent number, technology category, or industry I can point to. The only contextual signal is the firm: Gillam & Smith LLP of Marshall, Texas is a litigation boutique known for patent work in the Eastern District of Texas, and it appears in Eastern District dockets both as local counsel to national firms (for example, alongside WilmerHale in the USAA v. PNC Bank litigation) and as lead counsel. That suggests a patent-litigation practice, but I cannot source a specific technology area (Wi-Fi/standards, pharma, software, mechanical, etc.) for this attorney.

Side preference. Of the one tracked appearance, 1 is on the plaintiff side and 0 on the defendant side, with the attorney listed as Lead Counsel. A single plaintiff-side matter is not a sufficient sample to characterize a broader plaintiff/NPE-versus-defense pattern, and I would not draw that conclusion from it.

Firm context. The authoritative firm of record is Gillam & Smith. I could not verify any prior firm history for this attorney, and no in-house role is indicated by the tracked data.

Notable cases, PTAB/IPR, and bar/education. There are no named tracked cases to report, and I found no verified IPR, PGR, or CBM appearances, verdicts, Federal Circuit appeals, or settlements attributable to this attorney. I am also omitting a bar/education line: web searches surfaced several different attorneys named Scott Herbst — including a Palo Alto–based registered patent attorney ("Scott Alan Herbst," Wayne State JD, General Motors Institute BSEE, admitted in Michigan, D.C., California, and before the USPTO), a New York/New Jersey insurance-side lawyer ("Adam Scott Herbst"), and an Indianapolis in-house general counsel ("Scott E. Herbst") — but no source ties any of them to Gillam & Smith, so I cannot attribute their credentials or admissions here.

Caveat: Because the case list contains only one unnamed matter and no source confirms a Scott A. Herbst at Gillam & Smith, this summary should be treated as provisional pending confirmation of the correct individual and case details.
