Suro Rodriguez, PLLC — Patent Litigation Practice Summary

Firm overview. Suro Rodriguez, PLLC is a small, newly formed litigation boutique (firm site lists partner work history as "2025–present") with its primary office in Miami, Florida and an affiliated Puerto Rico firm, Suro & Suro. The firm's public materials describe it as founded by Lilyvette Rodriguez Soto and Miguel A. Suro, with Jorge M. Suro as Of Counsel. It is not a BigLaw firm or an IP boutique: no AmLaw 200, Chambers, or Vault IP ranking was located, and no headcount or revenue figure is publicly reported. Its stated practice areas are labor and employment, business/general counsel, federal civil litigation, personal injury and other plaintiff-side advocacy, and blockchain matters.

IP litigation specialty. The firm's own "About" page does not describe a patent or IP litigation practice group; no such page was located. Its only tracked patent appearance involves a mechanical firearm component — a forced-reset trigger covered by U.S. Patent No. 10,514,223 (the '223 patent) — litigated in the Northern District of Florida. There is no evidence in the available record of Wi-Fi/standards, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, or software patent work.

Side preference. The tracked data shows 0 plaintiff-side and 1 defendant-side appearance, in a local counsel role. That single data point involves defending an operating company — Big Daddy Enterprises, Inc. / Big Daddy Unlimited, Inc., a Florida firearms retailer — against assertion of the '223 patent by ABC IP, LLC, which holds the patent and exclusively licensed it to Rare Breed Triggers. Third-party docket analytics (Ex Parte) tag ABC IP as a patent-owner/NPE-type plaintiff. Given that the firm appeared only as local counsel, this should not be read as evidence of an established plaintiff- or defense-side patent practice.

Notable case and outcome. Rare Breed Triggers, LLC v. Big Daddy Enterprises, Inc., No. 1:21-cv-00149 (N.D. Fla.), consolidated with ABC IP, LLC v. Big Daddy Unlimited, Inc., No. 1:22-cv-00061. On December 30, 2021, Judge Robert L. Hinkle granted a preliminary injunction, finding the plaintiffs likely to succeed on the merits and that the accused Wide Open Trigger was "plainly copied" from the patented design (IP Law Daily, Jan. 4, 2022). The consolidated case closed October 19, 2022 by consent judgment and permanent injunction, with infringement, validity, and enforceability resolved in plaintiffs' favor and compensation left to a separate confidential settlement agreement — no damages figure is public (Dkt. 49, N.D. Fla.). Note two caveats: publicly reported defense counsel of record in the filings located were Carlton Fields (Daniel Curtis Johnson) and Eleanor M. Yost, and I could not locate Benjamin J. Suro on the docket excerpts retrieved; and the '223 patent family has since generated MDL No. 3176 in the Eastern District of Texas against numerous other defendants, where plaintiffs are represented by Wood Herron & Evans, Fish & Richardson, and Stinson — Suro Rodriguez does not appear in that MDL.

PTAB/IPR and practice leadership. No public record of any IPR, PGR, or other PTAB filing by the firm was found, and therefore no scale can be reported. On leadership, the named principals are Lilyvette Rodriguez Soto (labor and employment; former NLRB Senior Field Attorney), Miguel A. Suro (federal civil litigation, business, blockchain; admitted in Florida, Puerto Rico, First Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court), and Jorge M. Suro (trial attorney, 25+ federal plaintiff verdicts). None is identified publicly as an IP or patent litigation partner. The case list attributes the firm's lone appearance to Benjamin J. Suro as local counsel, but I was unable to verify a public firm bio for that name.

Sourcing caveat: firm overview and attorney background drawn from surorodriguez.com; case facts from the N.D. Fla. docket and the consent judgment on CourtListener; injunction analysis from IP Law Daily; NPE characterization from Ex Parte docket analytics. Where a fact could not be independently confirmed — notably the identity/role of Benjamin J. Suro and any PTAB activity — that is stated as unverified rather than asserted.
