Scott W. Burt (in-house, MOSAID Technologies Inc.)

I'll research this attorney's background and the tracked case before drafting.

Good detail so far. Let me verify the current tracked case and check for any name disambiguation.

Let me check for a same-name attorney and confirm his current role and IPR posture.

Scott W. Burt — In-House Patent Litigation Profile

Role and firm context. Burt is Senior Vice President, Chief Intellectual Property Officer and General Counsel of MOSAID Technologies Inc., the Ottawa- and Plano, Texas–based IP licensing and management company (renamed Conversant Intellectual Property Management Inc. in January 2014, now again operating under the MOSAID name). He joined MOSAID in 2012 and was named to his current role in 2014; he oversees the company's litigation function, patent prosecution, corporate/secretary functions, licensing negotiations, patent acquisitions, and public policy work. Before moving in-house, he spent roughly 21 years at Jones Day (Dallas and Chicago offices) in complex IP litigation, IP counseling, and IP transactions. He is a repeat honoree on the IAM Strategy 300 list of leading IP strategists (most recently noted in 2021).

Specialty / focus areas. His practice is centered on semiconductor and communications technology, matching MOSAID's portfolio: DRAM and flash memory circuitry, power-management and system-on-chip technology, and wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth) standards-adjacent products. Beyond litigation, his practice spans portfolio acquisition, licensing negotiation, prosecution strategy, and patent-policy advocacy — he served as a panelist at the FTC/DOJ Patent Assertion Entities workshop in December 2012 and submitted MOSAID's written comments in April 2013, and he has participated in N.D. Cal. Judicial Conference and IPBC panels on NPE/PAE issues.

Side preference. The tracked record shows one appearance, on the plaintiff side as lead counsel — consistent with his employer's business model as a licensing/enforcement entity rather than an operating company. MOSAID itself describes litigation as a last resort behind negotiated licensing. Note that the substantive counts in the profile reflect only the one tracked matter; his firm-side career at Jones Day included defense-side and transactional work, but that is not captured in the structured data and should not be treated as a verified docket count.

Notable case and PTAB/IPR posture. The tracked matter is MOSAID Technologies Inc. v. Infineon Technologies Americas Corp., No. 1:25-cv-00358 (W.D. Tex., filed 2025), consolidated in effect with a companion action, No. 1:25-cv-00436, asserting U.S. Patents 7,051,306, 7,111,179, 7,349,448, 9,972,381, and 10,140,028 against Infineon's PSoC 3/4/5/6 and AIROC Wi-Fi/Bluetooth products. The case is actively being contested on multiple fronts: Infineon moved to transfer venue to the N.D. Cal. (fully briefed in late 2025, decided by sealed/redacted order in March 2026), and the case was reassigned to Judge Andrew B. Davis in mid-2026. Infineon has filed a cluster of IPRs on the asserted patents (IPR2025-01171 on the '306 patent, plus IPR2025-01456, -01487, and -01489), with the petitioner stipulating to forgo overlapping invalidity grounds if institution is granted. Because MOSAID is the patent owner in these proceedings, Burt's in-house role places him on the receiving end of PTAB challenges rather than as a frequent petitioner; district court appearances on MOSAID's behalf list outside counsel from Winstead and Susman Godfrey, with Burt leading the company's litigation function.

Bar and education. J.D., University of Denver (1989; Order of St. Ives); B.A. in Mathematics with Computer Science, University of Colorado. Admitted in Texas (1991), Illinois, and Colorado; admitted to the Federal Circuit, Fifth Circuit, and several district courts including E.D. Tex., N.D. Tex., N.D. Ill., and E.D. Mich. No public disciplinary history appears on the State Bar of Texas record.

Disambiguation note: sourced materials for "Scott W. Burt" consistently resolve to the MOSAID/Conversant in-house executive and former Jones Day lawyer; no conflicting same-name patent practitioner surfaced in the sources reviewed. Two biographical claims on MOSAID's own profile — drafting the complaint in what is described as the first patent case filed in the Eastern District of Texas (1992) and participation in two settlements exceeding $1 billion each — are company self-reported and could not be independently verified in the sources reviewed.
