Griffith Barbee PLLC

About Griffith Barbee PLLC

Griffith Barbee PLLC is a boutique intellectual property and commercial litigation firm headquartered at One Arts Plaza in downtown Dallas, Texas. Formed by experienced Dallas trial lawyers, the firm represents companies, business leaders, and entrepreneurs in high-stakes disputes in federal and state courts across the country and in tribunals within the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Its practice is organized around commercial litigation, IP litigation, patents, trademarks, copyrights, and Texas local counsel, with prosecution and counseling work supporting the litigation side.

The trademark group covers a broad range of engagements: registration and applications, search and clearance, portfolio management and strategy, monitoring and protection, renewals, declarations of use, oppositions and cancellations, counseling, and infringement litigation. The firm describes handling bet-the-business trademark infringement suits and representing both plaintiffs and defendants, including preliminary injunction issues that arise early in a case. Attorneys also work on patents, copyrights, trade secrets, unfair competition, and trade dress, serving industries that range from technology and medical to fashion and entertainment.

Clients who write about the firm most often name Michael Barbee, describing him as knowledgeable, responsive, and willing to explain options and practical realities such as cost and recovery. A recurring note is that he delivers candid assessments rather than only the answer a client hopes for. Other reviewers highlight trademark work handled professionally and on time, with one pointing to detailed attention and communication from Anjie Vichayanonda. Small business owners report being treated with the same seriousness as larger corporate clients, including in an out-of-state federal trademark infringement matter.

Common threads across feedback include prompt communication, adherence to deadlines, thorough preparation, and a sense that the team is genuinely invested in client goals. Reviewers also describe the attorneys as creative and hard-working in complex, high-stakes matters. The firm operates from a single Dallas office and provides a client portal, blog, and FAQ resources on its site. Its stated focus is concentrated in IP and commercial litigation rather than general legal practice, and the written reviews reference a limited number of named attorneys, so prospective clients evaluating the full team may want to ask about staffing directly.
