THE RIGHT TEAM. THE RIGHT PLACE.
Mark Siegmund, head of our IP team, has an unsurpassed level of experience and familiarity with local courts. As a former law clerk to the Honorable Alan D. Albright, Federal District Judge in Waco, Texas, Mark helped develop the Waco Division’s local patent-specific rules and court standing orders. This invaluable experience has given him an insider’s perspective into one of the nation’s most significant patent litigation venues.
Mark and our team have extensive trial experience. We are intimately familiar with the rules and practices of federal courts throughout Texas, including the Western, Northern, and Eastern Districts. In addition, we have served as both local and lead counsel in numerous high-stakes patent litigation cases.
