McKool Smith has been recognized as one of the nation’s top patent litigation firms in the Patexia Patent Litigation 2026 Intelligence Report, which analyzes “how litigation volume evolved over a five-year period, where cases were filed, which technologies were most frequently contested, and how outcomes varied across courts, judges, companies, law firms, and attorneys.” The firm is ranked as the fourth most active law firm representing plaintiffs and among the top ten most active firms in patent litigation overall.

Firm Principals Jennifer Truelove and Sam Baxter are recognized among the nation’s top 20 overall most active patent attorneys representing both plaintiffs and defendants.

Patexia’s report provides data-driven analysis of the parties, law firms, attorneys, local counsel, and judges involved in patent disputes.
