Thomas H. Reger II

Mr. Reger has argued patent and other intellectual property cases across the country. With this litigation experience and a computer science degree from Texas A&M University, Mr. Reger manages all aspects of the case from the complaint through trial, whether as a defendant or a plaintiff. For example, Mr. Reger obtained one of the first summary judgment orders of invalidity before Judge Ward in the Eastern District of Texas. As another example, Mr. Reger obtained summary judgment of invalidity of eight asserted claims before Judge Davis. And in California, Mr. Reger won summary judgment of no infringement under patent exhaustion on one patent, and then obtained a jury verdict of no infringement on a second. In Florida, a jury found the plaintiff’s three asserted patents invalid and not infringed; the Patent Office likewise invalidated two of the plaintiff’s patents after inter partes review (IPR). At the ITC, Mr. Reger successfully invalidated the asserted patent before the ALJ and the Commission. Beyond defense wins, Mr. Reger has also successfully represented plaintiffs. For example, he obtained a jury verdict of infringement, willfulness, and false marking before Judge Clark of the Eastern District of Texas.

Mr. Reger also participated in the Lawyer on Loan program through the Dallas County District Attorney’s office. During his tenure as an Assistant District Attorney, he picked the jury or led the prosecution in more than 15 jury trials.

In addition to his litigation experience, Mr. Reger has technical experience as a patent prosecutor and as a software engineer. His particular focus was in algorithm analysis, optimization, and other software design. He is well-versed in many computer languages (including Java, C, C++, SQL, HTML, COBOL, and Assembler), as well as operating systems, hardware platforms, and databases.
