Matthew J. Booth PC: Thirty-Five Years Protecting Semiconductor and Software IP in Austin

Matthew J. Booth PC has operated continuously in Austin since 1990 — 35 years focused specifically on the technical depth required for semiconductor design, computer hardware and software, and electrical and mechanical technologies, rather than general commercial litigation with IP as a side practice.

Origin and Background

Matthew J. Booth PC is based at 5501A Balcones Drive, Suite 301, Austin, TX 78731. Founder Matthew James Booth holds a J.D. from St. Mary’s University School of Law and an undergraduate degree from the University of Texas at Austin, is a Registered Patent Attorney before the USPTO, and is licensed in Texas, Colorado, and Utah, as well as before the U.S. Supreme Court, the Fifth and Tenth Circuit Courts of Appeals, and the Federal Circuit.

Practice Concentration

The firm’s practice covers preparation, prosecution, and litigation of patents, trademarks, and copyrights; IP licensing; trade secrets agreements and litigation; OEM and distribution agreements; technology sharing and joint development agreements; and commercial and business litigation, with particular technical depth in semiconductor design and manufacturing, computer hardware and software, and electrical, mechanical, and environmental technologies. See this Austin Intellectual Property directory for how this technically specialized, three-decade Austin practice compares to newer IP boutiques.

Notable Work / Track Record

Matthew Booth’s documented litigation history includes named, citable federal cases in the Western District of Texas: Getagadget, LLC v. Evergreen Enterprises of Virginia, LLC (1:17-cv-00299-SS), settled favorably for the client; Texas BBQ Regulators, LLC v. Maverick Industries, Inc., et al. (1:16-cv-00382-SS), settled favorably for the client; and Getagadget, LLC v. Porter World Trade, Inc. (1:16-cv-01240-LY), settled favorably for the client. These are specific, independently verifiable case outcomes rather than aggregate claims.

Client Voice

Awesome Attorneys did not locate a substantial independent consumer review platform sample for this firm; its Avvo profile shows no endorsement data and FindLaw shows no reviews on file. Awesome Attorneys discloses this gap directly rather than inferring client satisfaction from litigation outcomes alone.

Beyond the Courtroom

Matthew Booth is a member of the American Intellectual Property Law Association, reflecting sustained professional engagement with the national IP bar beyond direct client representation, though Awesome Attorneys did not identify additional named civic or nonprofit board service.

Recognition for This Austin IP Firm

Matthew Booth’s registration as a Registered Patent Attorney before the USPTO, along with his multi-jurisdictional admission spanning Texas, Colorado, Utah, the Fifth and Tenth Circuits, the Federal Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court, is independently verifiable through the State Bar of Texas directory. Awesome Attorneys did not identify additional peer-review awards for this profile beyond these documented federal court and USPTO admissions.

Texas Legal Backdrop

Patent litigation of the kind reflected in Booth’s documented case history proceeds in federal court under Title 35 of the U.S. Code, and the Western District of Texas — where all three of his cited cases were filed — has become one of the most active patent litigation venues in the country. Semiconductor and software IP disputes in particular often implicate both patent claims and Texas trade secret protections under the Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act simultaneously, since source code and chip designs frequently qualify for both forms of protection. None of this is legal advice; a specific patent, trademark, or IP matter should be evaluated by a licensed attorney based on the actual facts involved.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

Matthew J. Booth PC’s clearest differentiator is 35 years of continuous, technically specialized Austin practice in semiconductor, computer hardware, and software IP, backed by three named, citable federal settlements in the Western District of Texas. The honest trade-off is that Awesome Attorneys did not locate a substantial independent consumer review sample to characterize client experience, and this is a small, personalized practice rather than a large firm with bench depth for simultaneous major litigation matters. For a technology company or inventor working in semiconductor, computer hardware, or software with a genuine need for both technical fluency and documented federal litigation experience, that specific combination is a strong basis for a shortlist.
