McKool Smith Secures Top IP Litigation Honors in Texas

The firm’s recent performance is anchored by high-stakes wins in the Eastern District of Texas. Austin principal Steve Pollinger and Marshall principal Jennifer Truelove secured the $192 million judgment for Mojo Mobility regarding wireless charging technology. Truelove also successfully navigated a willful infringement case involving OLED display patents. Meanwhile, the firm’s international efforts saw a Nokia campaign against Hisense conclude with a global licensing agreement.

Warren Lipschitz, a finalist for Intellectual Property Attorney of the Year, led a string of defense successes. In August 2026, he spearheaded a team that cleared AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Ericsson, and Nokia of $436 million in damages. The jury invalidated all nine asserted claims while ruling that the plaintiffs violated FRAND obligations. These results follow a series of earlier victories, including a reduction of a $245 million demand against T-Mobile to $2 million. With over 130 trial lawyers across seven offices, McKool Smith maintains a record of securing more top-tier jury verdicts than any other firm, cementing its position in complex commercial and intellectual property litigation.
