She has appeared before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, briefing and arguing patent appeals and mandamus proceedings. Her experience also includes International Trade Commission (ITC) proceedings, such as representing the California Institute of Technology in semiconductor/cell phone technology matters and successfully obtaining dismissals for clients in ITC investigations. Earlier in her career, she practiced at Bickel & Brewer, LLP and The Corea Firm, gaining broad litigation skills that complement her IP focus.
Recognized by peers for her exceptional skill, Ms. Rynell was selected as an Intellectual Property Litigation “Rising Star” by Texas Monthly magazine / Super Lawyers for seven consecutive years (2009–2015). She holds a J.D. from Southern Methodist University School of Law (2001), where she earned an academic scholarship, made the Dean’s List, and was a moot court semifinalist and coach. She received her B.A. in English, cum laude, from SMU (1998). Ms. Rynell is admitted to practice in Texas, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and the U.S. District Courts for the Northern, Eastern, and Western Districts of Texas (with additional federal court admissions).
Clients value Ms. Rynell’s meticulous attention to detail, clear communication, strategic insight, and dedication to achieving practical, results-driven outcomes—whether through aggressive litigation, favorable settlements, or proactive IP portfolio management.
"Outstanding! So glad we chose WLG in our patent litigation. Jennifer Rynell and John Wilson are a terrific team, focused and on the same page. They always answered my calls, knew my case inside and out and in no way was I pushed aside for a larger client.
