Scott G. Warner

I'll research this attorney before drafting the summary.

Let me try more targeted searches.

Let me dig deeper to disambiguate and find the specific case and the Lee & Hayes attorney.

Scott G. Warner — patent litigation practice summary

Caveat on sourcing. The tracked data contains a single appearance for this attorney, so the profile below is necessarily narrow. Web research also surfaced a different Seattle attorney named Scott G. Warner (Of Counsel at Buchalter, previously Garvey Schubert Barer) — a Washington/D.C.-barred IP and technology-transactions lawyer (J.D., Antioch; LL.M., University of Washington, 1983). Available sources do not connect that individual to Lee & Hayes or to the tracked matter, so those credentials should not be attributed here; no reliable web profile was located for the Lee & Hayes Scott G. Warner.

Specialty / focus and side. The one tracked matter is Unified Patents v. Longhorn Automotive Group LLC, in which Warner is recorded as back-up counsel at Lee & Hayes on the defendant/patent-owner side. Longhorn Automotive Group is an NPE (an entity of Alpha Alpha Intellectual Partners) that has asserted automotive-related patents — including distributed measurement/control-system and crypto-engine technology — against automakers such as Volkswagen, Nissan, Hyundai, Mazda, Mitsubishi and Volvo, and whose patents have been challenged via IPR and ex parte reexamination. That points to automotive electronics as the technology area of the single matter. With 0 plaintiff-side and 1 defendant-side appearance, there is no basis to describe a side preference: he has not been tracked prosecuting for an NPE/PAE, and one patent-owner-side appearance is too thin to suggest either an operating-company defense practice or a broader pattern.

Firm and PTAB experience. His firm of record is Lee & Hayes, PLLC, a Spokane, Washington IP boutique with a substantial patent prosecution and post-grant practice; no prior-firm history for this attorney could be verified. The tracked proceeding is a PTAB-track matter (Unified Patents is a defensive aggregator that files IPRs and reexaminations against NPE patents), so his one appearance is in that forum, as back-up counsel. A single appearance does not establish a regular IPR/PGR practice, and no institutions, final written decisions, appeals or settlements attributable to him personally were verifiable.

Bar / education. Not reliably sourced for this attorney; omitted rather than estimated. The only prominent tracked case remains Unified Patents v. Longhorn Automotive Group LLC; broader developments in the Longhorn campaign (e.g., PTAB institution in related Volkswagen and Koito challenges, and a reexamination of U.S. Patent 7,987,002) are attributable to other counsel, not to Warner.
