Steven Nelson Williams

Steven Nelson Williams is a seasoned patent litigation attorney currently with Munsch Hardt Kopf and Harr, P.C., where he is a shareholder in the firm's Litigation and Intellectual Property practices. His practice encompasses a broad range of intellectual property cases, with over thirty years of experience representing clients in patent infringement, copyright, trademark, and trade secret matters. Williams' technology focus is diverse, including semiconductor manufacturing, RFID technology, digital video devices, telecommunications equipment, electronics, pharmaceutical and medical devices, building materials, HVAC, and Wi-Fi communications chips. He also has experience with software, as evidenced by his representation in the "Lone Star SCM Systems" case.

While the provided case data indicates one plaintiff-side appearance as lead counsel in Lone Star SCM Systems, LP v. Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist (more fully identified as Lone Star SCM Systems, Ltd. v. Honeywell International Inc.), a broader review of his career suggests a balanced practice. His professional profile shows a history of representing both plaintiffs asserting intellectual property rights and defendants defending against claims. Notable outcomes include achieving summary judgment for Huawei Device USA, Inc. in a patent case involving multi-positional smartphone cameras, and securing settlement agreements with permanent injunctions for Nu-You Technologies, Inc. in disputes over hair styling device patents. He also secured a judgment in excess of $1 million and a permanent injunction for BulletLink in a copyright and trade secret misappropriation case.

Prior to Munsch Hardt, Williams was associated with McDole Williams, which merged with Munsch Hardt. Information regarding his regular appearance in PTAB or IPR proceedings is not readily available through public search. He is licensed to practice in Texas and earned his law degree from Southern Methodist University in 1991.
