William P. Ramey III

William P. Ramey, III is a patent litigator and the founding partner of Ramey, LLP, based in Houston, Texas. His practice covers a wide range of technologies, including wireless communications, software, oilfield equipment, and biochemistry. The firm's recent litigation activity involves patents related to unstructured data management, multimedia networking protocols, and video technology. Prior to founding his firm in 2011, Ramey served as an in-house patent attorney for a multinational corporation.

Consistent with the provided case list—which shows him exclusively representing plaintiffs like Portus Singapore PTE Ltd and WirelessWerx IP LLC—Ramey’s practice focuses heavily on representing patent owners in infringement litigation. His firm's website states a "passion for helping clients monetize their intellectual property" and an intent to provide representation for meritorious claims that other firms might not take on. News reports describe Ramey, LLP as one of the most prolific filers of patent infringement lawsuits in the country, frequently representing non-practicing entities (NPEs).

Ramey's practice has drawn significant judicial scrutiny. According to legal news reports, federal judges have repeatedly sanctioned Ramey, his firm, and/or his clients for litigation misconduct. In one widely reported 2024 decision in VDPP v. Volkswagen, a federal judge in Texas held Ramey and his client jointly liable for over $207,000 in attorneys' fees after finding the entire patent infringement case was "exceptional" and "frivolous from the outset." His firm website indicates a practice in post-grant proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), and he has published commentary on PTAB matters.

William Ramey earned his J.D. from the South Texas College of Law Houston and was licensed to practice in 2000.
