Stafford Davis

Stafford Davis is a prominent patent litigator and founding partner of The Stafford Davis Firm, PC, based in Tyler, Texas. His practice primarily focuses on high-stakes intellectual property litigation within Texas federal and state courts, with a particular emphasis on patent disputes in the Eastern District of Texas. The firm highlights its experience in handling complex, technical concepts for juries and often serves as local counsel for out-of-town firms involved in significant litigation.

While The Stafford Davis Firm indicates it represents both plaintiffs and defendants across its practice areas, in patent litigation, the firm specifically notes it is "repeatedly hired by patent plaintiffs from all over the world." Davis served as local counsel for the plaintiff, Gaea LLC, in Gaea LLC v. Dell Technologies Inc. et al., a patent infringement case related to software licensing and MP3 technology. Gaea LLC is identified as a patent licensing firm, and has also been involved in patent litigation against Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. in the Eastern District of Texas.

Davis established The Stafford Davis Firm in 2010. Prior to founding his own firm, he gained four years of experience at Jones Day, where his practice included intellectual property litigation encompassing trade secret, trademark, and patent disputes, representing Fortune 500 companies and other international entities. The firm has achieved multi-million dollar recoveries in various complex commercial litigation matters. Information regarding Stafford Davis's specific involvement in PTAB or IPR proceedings is not readily available from public sources.

Davis is admitted to practice in Texas, the U.S. District Courts for the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Districts of Texas, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. He earned his Juris Doctor from Baylor University School of Law in 2006, where he was an editor for the Baylor Law Review, and a B.A. in Political Science from Rhodes College in 2001.
