Heringer

Based on available public records, Heringer is a law practice represented in patent litigation by attorney Blake T. Heringer. The firm’s public footprint is limited, and information regarding its formal name, office locations, and overall size is not readily available from established legal directories or a firm website. Its profile is based on a single tracked appearance in federal court.

The firm’s patent litigation activity is concentrated in the automotive and telematics sectors. This specialty is defined by its representation of AutoConnect Holdings LLC in a case involving patents for vehicle control systems, device discovery for on-board vehicle networks, and infotainment features related to platforms like Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto.

In its tracked litigation, Heringer has exclusively represented the patent holder on the plaintiff side. The firm served as of counsel for AutoConnect Holdings LLC, an entity identified in public records as a non-practicing entity (NPE) or patent assertion entity. This indicates a practice focused on patent enforcement for rights-holding clients rather than defense work for operating companies.

The firm’s most notable engagement is its role in AutoConnect Holdings LLC v. Ford Motor Company. This case is part of a larger litigation campaign brought by AutoConnect, which has also filed suits against other major automakers, including General Motors and Toyota, in districts such as the Eastern District of Texas and the District of Delaware. The patents asserted in this campaign have been the subject of challenges at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) through inter partes review and ex parte reexamination proceedings brought by defendants and third parties. The only key attorney of public record for the firm is Blake T. Heringer.
