Contracts & Business Issues
Stibbs & Co. attorneys obtained a dismissal of a business disparagement lawsuit against its clients and an award of attorney’s fees for those clients under the Texas Citizens Participation Act. The Court agreed with Stibbs and Co.’s argument that the clients’ appearance for an interview on a local news channel about events they witnessed relating to their child’s health and safety was protected free speech, an exercise of their constitutional rights, and warranted a full dismissal of the lawsuit along with an award for attorney’s fees. Upon execution of the judgment, Stibbs and Co. collected in full the awarded attorney’s fees.

Civil Litigation
Stibbs & Co. prosecuted and obtained the first United States Patent for their client EcoBiome Holdings, LLC. The patent was granted December 19, 2023, listing EcoBiome’s owner, Marc Rodriguez, as sole inventor, and is entitled “Apparatus for Microorganism Isolation, Characterization, Identification and Methods of Use Thereof.” While Stibbs & Co. did not write the patent application, previous patent counsel was unable to convince the USPTO of patentability. The USPTO agreed with Stibbs and Co.’s arguments that the methods of use of the apparatus known as the EcoBiome Apparatus™ were patentable. Stibbs & Co. is prosecuting other pending patent applications for EcoBiome Holdings, including a patent application with claims drawn to the apparatus itself.
