Wagner, Anderson & Bright

Wagner, Anderson & Bright, LLP is an intellectual property law firm primarily based in Glendale, California, with an additional attorney located in Redmond, Oregon. The firm appears to operate as an IP boutique, specializing in the development, protection, and enforcement of various intellectual property rights. There is no reliable public information to classify the firm within AmLaw or Chambers rankings, suggesting it is not a large BigLaw firm.

The firm's IP litigation practice has a strong focus on patent and trademark matters, along with unfair competition and trade secret infringement. Key attorney Patrick F. Bright has decades of experience representing a range of clients, from Fortune 500 corporations and universities to entrepreneurs and individual inventors, in both patent and trademark litigation. The firm emphasizes its capability in handling large-scale patent licensing and litigation for individual patents or entire portfolios, often representing patent owners on a contingency fee basis.

Wagner, Anderson & Bright consistently acts on the plaintiff side in patent infringement cases, as evidenced by its appearances in Titan International Technologies Ltd. v. FUSE an S.A. corporation et al. and Titan International Technologies, LTD v. COBRA Firing Systems, LLC et al.. In the case of Titan International Technologies, LTD v. COBRA Firing Systems, LLC et al., the District Court for the District of Nevada granted summary judgment for the defendants due to insufficient evidence of direct infringement, a decision that has since been appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The subject matter of these cases involves patents related to "Automated Detonation of Fireworks".

Regarding post-grant proceedings, Patrick F. Bright is licensed to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and has experience in patent re-examination and re-issuance proceedings. While this indicates capability in challenging or defending patents at the USPTO, specific details on the volume or typical outcomes of the firm's inter partes review (IPR) or post-grant review (PGR) practice are not publicly available.

Patrick F. Bright serves as a prominent IP litigation partner at the firm, with extensive experience in patent prosecution and enforcement, having successfully registered numerous trademarks and obtained hundreds of patents for clients. Roy Anderson is also listed as a member of the firm.
