I engaged Bill McKenna and his firm for a patent infringement dispute involving a software algorithm. His technical background from Rose-Hulman was immediately apparent and a significant asset; he grasped the complex computer science concepts faster than any other attorney we consulted. His deep experience in intellectual property litigation, particularly with software, was evident in his strategic approach to the case. The recognition he has received in patent law and litigation is well-deserved from a purely technical and legal standpoint. However, our experience was mixed. While his written work was thorough, there were often delays in receiving updates, and responses to emails could take several days. At times, it felt like we had to proactively manage the communication flow to stay informed on next steps. The legal strategy was sound and the outcome was ultimately acceptable, but the process felt less collaborative than we had hoped. For highly technical IP matters in Indianapolis, Bill’s expertise is undeniable, but clients should be prepared to be assertive in maintaining clear communication channels throughout the engagement.
