McMenemy Holmes

Law Firm Summary: McMenemy Holmes
Date: 2026-05-12

McMenemy Holmes is a boutique civil litigation and trial law firm headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. The firm presents itself as a specialized litigation practice rather than a large, full-service firm and is not ranked in the AmLaw 200 or by Chambers and Partners. Its attorneys, primarily the named partners, focus on disputes in Nevada state and federal courts.

The firm’s intellectual property practice is a component of its broader business and commercial litigation group. While the firm's website notes experience in copyright, trademark, and trade secret matters, its patent litigation experience appears to be more recent. The technology in its tracked patent cases involves automated pyrotechnic detonation systems. Given that both patent cases were filed on behalf of the same party where the firm acted as local counsel, it is difficult to identify a specific technology focus.

Based on available data, McMenemy Holmes has exclusively represented plaintiffs in its patent litigation engagements. In both of its tracked patent infringement cases, the firm served as local counsel for the plaintiff, Titan International Technologies, Ltd. This indicates a focus on representing patent holders, though the dataset is limited to two cases.

The firm's most prominent patent litigation matters are Titan International Technologies, LTD v. COBRA Firing Systems, LLC et al. and Titan International Technologies Ltd. v. FUSE an S.A. corporation et al. In the COBRA Firing Systems case, filed in the District of Nevada, the court granted summary judgment to the defendants, finding insufficient evidence of infringement; a notice of appeal to the Federal Circuit was subsequently filed. No public reports of a significant verdict or settlement have been identified for these cases. There is no record of the firm having a practice before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB).

The key attorneys for the firm are its named partners, Ian M. McMenemy and Dustun H. Holmes. Mr. Holmes is listed as local counsel on the firm's tracked patent cases. Both partners are recognized by Super Lawyers, with Mr. Holmes noted for Business Litigation and Mr. McMenemy for Personal Injury. Their experience is primarily in general civil and commercial disputes.
