Specialty & background
Timothy E. Grochocinski is a Principal at Nelson Bumgardner Conroy PC, where he focuses his practice on patent infringement and complex commercial litigation. His technical background includes a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems from the Illinois Institute of Technology, which informs his work in technology-based disputes. His patent litigation practice frequently involves areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous vehicles, software, and wireless communication technologies, as seen in his representation in cases involving Secure Communication Technologies, LLC and Perceptive Automata, LLC.
Grochocinski has experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants in patent matters. While his tracked cases show a slight tilt towards plaintiff-side appearances, including acting for non-practicing entities (NPEs) or patent assertion entities (PAEs) such as Secure Communication Technologies, LLC and Perceptive Automata, LLC, he also defends operating companies like Google LLC and Tesla, Inc.. His notable achievements include securing a plaintiff's verdict and approximately $13 million judgment, including ongoing royalties, in Creative Internet Advertising Corp. v. Yahoo! Inc. in the Eastern District of Texas early in his career. More recently, he secured a win for client Rehco LLC at the Federal Circuit and obtained a $9 million jury verdict for Rehco in a case involving toy inventors against Spin Master, which included findings of contract breach and willful patent infringement.
He is also involved in post-grant review proceedings, with his firm offering representation in inter partes reviews (IPR) and covered business method (CBM) reviews. He has appeared in IPR proceedings on behalf of patent owners. Grochocinski earned his Juris Doctor from Saint Louis University School of Law and is admitted to practice in Illinois and Missouri, as well as before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and various federal district courts.
