Rodriguez, who joined Munck Wilson in Dallas in 2008, opened the Austin office in 2016. “I constantly bump into people who are pursuing their dreams,” he says. “And I love seeing people’s visions come to reality.”
Example: Terrance Berry of Dallas, experienced in cellphone tower maintenance, came to him around 2011, excited about an idea he wanted to patent. Berry paid Rodriguez what he could afford, and “we sat down and I drafted his first patent application with him,” Rodriguez says.
Berry aggressively marketed that first concept—installing Wi-Fi routers within street lane markers to bypass cellphone towers—and now, as co-founder and CEO of wireless telecom firm Neutronic Perpetual Innovations, he has obtained many additional patents. “Anyone who hears his ideas thinks he’s on the edge of something great,” Rodriguez says. “He has experienced massive growth for a guy who came in with just an idea. He’s got multiple patents and filings around the world. And that’s not something he could have done when he first walked in the door.”
