His technological experience is broad, encompassing computer software/hardware, wireless network communication, databases, search engines, electromechanical devices, and business methods.

A notable engagement includes his representation of Proxense, LLC in Proxense, LLC v. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. et al. (W.D. Texas). This case, involving five patents related to biometric personal data key (PDK) authentication and hybrid device receiver-decoder technology, concluded in a consent judgment after nearly two years, with a dismissal with prejudice and each party bearing its own costs. Hecht Partners, representing Proxense, also pursued subsequent actions against other major technology companies, with at least one, Google, settling through a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice.

Mr. Norris is admitted to practice in Maryland, the District of Columbia, and before the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. While his firm's general IP litigation practice may encompass various forums, his professional profile does not explicitly detail regular appearances in PTAB or IPR proceedings.
