Stafford G. Davis

Stafford G. Davis is a patent litigation attorney with a practice focused on federal district court proceedings, particularly in the Eastern District of Texas. His work as local counsel in tracked cases indicates a specialty in representing patent owners, including non-practicing entities (NPEs) or patent assertion entities (PAEs). The technology areas in these cases encompass telematics, vehicle monitoring, wireless communication, networking, enterprise IT, software, and smart home/Internet of Things (IoT) devices, as seen in matters such as Orthosie Systems, LLC v. Navistar, Inc., Fleet Connect Solutions LLC v. Cisco Systems, Inc., Fleet Connect Solutions LLC v. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, and IOT Innovations LLC v. Vivint, Inc.

Mr. Davis primarily appears on the plaintiff side in patent litigation, serving as local counsel for out-of-state firms asserting patents against operating companies. His firm's website highlights their role in assisting patent plaintiffs and their national counsel in the Eastern District of Texas, known for its expedited patent litigation procedures. While the firm, The Stafford Davis Firm, PC, founded in 2010, represents both plaintiffs and defendants in various litigation types, his patent litigation footprint prominently features plaintiff-side representation. Prior to establishing his firm, Mr. Davis gained experience in intellectual property litigation at Jones Day, where he represented Fortune 500 companies in patent, trademark, and trade secret disputes.

Specific outcomes for the tracked patent cases are not detailed in the public record of Mr. Davis's appearances. However, the underlying patent campaigns have, in some instances, led to settlements or voluntary dismissals for other defendants. For example, other Fleet Connect Solutions cases have concluded with settlements or voluntary dismissals. There is no public record indicating Mr. Davis's regular involvement in Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) or inter partes review (IPR) proceedings.

Mr. Davis earned his Juris Doctor from Baylor University School of Law in 2006, where he was an editor for the Baylor Law Review. He is admitted to practice in Texas and before the U.S. District Courts for the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Districts of Texas, as well as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
