Summary of Patent Litigation Practice: Terry A. Saad

Terry A. Saad is a shareholder at the intellectual property boutique Bragalone Olejko Saad PC, where he focuses on patent litigation and post-grant proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). His practice leverages a background in electrical engineering—with prior industry experience at companies like Motorola and Raytheon—to handle technologically complex cases. Saad litigates across a wide array of high-tech fields, including telecommunications, wireless standards (such as LTE and 3G), computer software and networking, semiconductors, and medical devices.

The provided case data shows Saad representing plaintiff ContentNexus LLC, and his firm biography confirms he has significant experience representing patent owners in assertion campaigns. However, his practice also involves defending operating companies. His firm profile notes his work representing multiple defendants in a suit concerning check imaging and payment systems, which resulted in favorable settlements based on a strong invalidity defense. This indicates a balanced practice serving both plaintiffs and defendants.

Saad is an experienced PTAB practitioner, representing patent owners in inter partes review (IPR) proceedings. For example, he defended a patent owner against a petition for IPR, resulting in a successful denial of institution by the PTAB, and has represented patent owner Cellular Communications Equipment LLC in IPR proceedings against petitioners such as Apple and HTC. Before becoming a name partner at his current firm, Saad was an attorney with Baker & McKenzie in Dallas.

He is a registered patent attorney with the USPTO and is licensed to practice in Texas. Saad earned his J.D. from the University of Texas School of Law after receiving B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University and the University of Texas at Austin, respectively.
