The Lomnitzer Law Firm

I'll research the firm's public profile before drafting.

Firm overview. The Lomnitzer Law Firm, P.A. is a small South Florida intellectual-property and entertainment-law boutique headquartered at 7999 N. Federal Highway, Suite 202, Boca Raton, Florida. Firm and directory listings (firm website, Super Lawyers, FindLaw, LawInfo, Martindale-Hubbell) also show offices or by-appointment locations in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Pompano Beach and West Palm Beach, Florida, plus Clarkrange, Tennessee. Martindale lists a single lawyer under the firm's main profile, and FindLaw describes the practice as roughly a decade old; this is best characterized as a micro-boutique IP/general-practice shop, not BigLaw and not a large patent-litigation boutique. No AmLaw, Chambers, or Vault ranking for the firm could be located in public sources, and the firm's own "boutique service with large-firm expertise" language is self-description rather than an independent ranking.

IP litigation specialty. The firm's stated practice spans patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, counterfeit goods, unfair competition, entertainment/sports, and general commercial litigation, with registered-patent-attorney capability supplied through of-counsel (Allen F. Bennett, a biochemist-turned-patent-lawyer whose described work runs from life sciences to mechanical devices and web-based software). The one patent case in the tracked data — Express Mobile, Inc. v. Google LLC — is a software/web-publishing matter: the asserted Express Mobile patents (e.g., U.S. 6,546,397 and 9,928,044) concern browser-based website generation using a runtime engine and database, not Wi-Fi/standards, semiconductors, or pharma. The firm's publicly visible USPTO activity is dominated by TTAB oppositions and cancellations, consistent with a trademark-and-copyright-heavy docket with selective patent work.

Side preference. On the tracked record the firm appears exclusively on the plaintiff/patent-owner side (1 plaintiff appearance, 0 defendant), and only in a local-counsel role. The firm's marketing claims it both prosecutes infringement and defends accused parties, and it advertises representation of startups, inventors, entertainment clients and small-to-midsize businesses — a client profile that skews toward enforcement rather than defense of large operating companies. Given the single tracked appearance, any "side preference" conclusion should be treated as directional only.

Notable cases and outcomes. Express Mobile, Inc. v. Google LLC (W.D. Tex. No. 6:20-cv-00804, before Judge Alan Albright) is the firm's only tracked patent matter, with Brian C. Lomnitzer listed as local counsel for the plaintiff. Express Mobile filed related suits on the same patent family in Delaware and the Northern District of California (including against Wix and Magento/X.commerce). The broader campaign produced verifiable public events: Google's four IPR petitions against Express Mobile patents were all denied institution in October 2021, and in June 2025 the Federal Circuit in Express Mobile v. Meta Platforms (No. 23-1646) reversed the PTAB's claim construction and remanded. Those merits results were handled by other firms (Kramer/Alberti Lim, MoloLamken, Lowenstein & Weatherwax, McKool Smith, Steptoe), so no outcome can be attributed to Lomnitzer beyond its local-counsel role.

PTAB / IPR practice and key personnel. The firm's website states that founder Lorri Lomnitzer has experience in TTAB proceedings and PTAB post-grant proceedings; no public data was found quantifying the firm's own IPR/PGR filings, so its PTAB practice should be described as individual rather than institutional, and it did not appear as counsel of record in the Express Mobile IPRs. Key figures, per firm bios and directory listings: Lorri Lomnitzer (founder/owner; IP, entertainment and commercial litigation; admitted in Florida and Tennessee and, per her bio, to the Eleventh and Federal Circuits), Jerold I. Schneider (special trial counsel; Florida Bar board-certified in IP law since 2007; firm bio claims 50+ years and 300+ IP lawsuits, a self-reported figure), Allen F. Bennett (of counsel; registered patent attorney, life sciences/biotech focus), and Brian C. Lomnitzer, the attorney of record in the tracked case, for whom no current firm bio could be verified. Attorneys Kelly Ann DesRosiers, Allison Mingo and Spensyr Ann Krebsbach also appear as firm counsel in TTAB filings.
