Showalter Colgin & Davis

Showalter Colgin & Davis, PLLC is a regional law firm headquartered in Richmond, Texas, serving clients throughout the Greater Houston area and across Texas. Established in 1977 by David W. Showalter, the firm operates with a team of experienced attorneys, estimated to be between 6 to 10 in size. It is not identified in national AmLaw or Chambers rankings for top-tier firms.

The firm's practice areas encompass broad civil litigation and transactional matters, including eminent domain, real estate, business law, estate planning, personal injury, and intellectual property. Their intellectual property services primarily focus on copyright and trademark registration, licensing, enforcement, and defense against infringement claims. In patent litigation, the firm's tracked involvement includes a single appearance as local counsel for the plaintiff in Velocity Communication Technologies, LLC v. Cisco. This instance suggests an engagement in representing patent owners, at least in a supporting capacity, though a specific technology specialization in patent disputes is not extensively detailed in their public profile.

Based on available information, there are no publicly detailed notable outcomes or verdicts specifically tied to the firm's patent litigation practice. The firm's public profile also does not indicate a distinct practice before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) or in Inter Partes Review (IPR) proceedings.

David W. Showalter, a founding and senior partner, is a key attorney involved in the firm's litigation efforts. He brings over 45 years of experience as an attorney and has served as lead trial counsel in numerous civil litigation matters. While William M. Colgin and Stephanie C. Davis are also partners, their stated primary practice areas on the firm's website are not centered on intellectual property litigation.
