The firm operates from a single office in Dallas. While not classified as BigLaw and not appearing in major AmLaw or Chambers rankings, the firm emphasizes its partners' backgrounds in larger law firms to provide experienced representation.

The firm's intellectual property litigation practice encompasses disputes related to patents, trade secrets, trademark infringement, trademark counterfeiting, and unfair competition. Based on its tracked cases, the firm has represented plaintiffs in patent infringement actions concerning technology areas such as display panels and consumer electronics, specifically involving "Infringing Panel Modules" used in "Hisense television models."

Powers Taylor primarily represents plaintiffs in its litigation efforts, aligning with its stated goal to help individuals and small businesses secure recoveries. This plaintiff-side preference is evident in its current patent litigation track record, which shows appearances solely on behalf of plaintiffs.

A prominent patent litigation matter for the firm is Phenix Longhorn, LLC v. AU Optronics Corporation et al. (E.D. Tex., Case No. 2:23-cv-00477).

Key partners in the firm's IP litigation practice include founding partners Patrick F. Powers and Mark L. Taylor. Mr. Powers is specifically noted as counsel in the Phenix Longhorn matter.
