Scott Breedlove

Scott Breedlove — Patent Litigation Practice Summary

Specialty / focus areas. Breedlove is a registered patent attorney with an electrical-engineering background whose tracked matters center on LED lighting technology. In the Feit Electric litigations he defended U.S. Patent No. 8,604,678, which covers LED filament/wavelength-conversion components, in the Northern District of Texas and in parallel PTAB proceedings, and he has also appeared on behalf of Savant Technologies (GE Lighting) in related LED disputes. His firm bio describes a broader practice spanning semiconductors, hi-tech electronics/IT, and district-court and ITC litigation.

Side preference / representation. His tracked appearances skew defense (2 of 3), principally representing operating company Feit Electric as patent owner defending its own asserted patent against LED importers/manufacturers. The third appearance is plaintiff-side, and his published bio confirms he works both sides — enforcing patents for owners (reportedly securing over $50 million in recoveries) and defending accused infringers, including a defense verdict in the Northern District of Texas against a damages claim exceeding $200 million and a take-nothing dismissal in the Eastern District of Texas.

Firm context and notable matters. Breedlove is a partner at Carter Arnett (Dallas), having joined the firm (then Carter Scholer) after more than 20 years at Vinson & Elkins, where he was an IP partner. His most prominent tracked matters are the multi-front Feit Electric LED-filament campaign — Feit Electric v. Elong International USA, Feit Electric v. Savant Technologies (GE Lighting) (N.D. Ohio), and the related IPRs — which ended in a joint without-prejudice dismissal in the Elong case in January 2026 after the PTAB declined Feit's request for discretionary denial. His bio also cites a $9.2 million jury verdict in the Western District of Texas against a semiconductor foundry, and he signed the appellants' Federal Circuit brief in Katana Silicon Technologies v. Micron (Nos. 2023-2007/2095) challenging an Idaho bad-faith-assertion statute.

PTAB/IPR experience. Breedlove appears regularly in IPR proceedings as back-up/additional back-up counsel — most recently defending Feit's '678 patent in IPR2024-01357, IPR2025-00258, and IPR2025-00260 — and his firm bio notes a Patexia PTAB ranking as #1 for patent owners (2019–2024).

Bar / education. Texas bar (1994); BSEE (with honors, 1991) and J.D. (with high honors, 1994), University of Texas; law clerk to Judge Robert E. Payne, E.D. Va.
