John Arty's documented professional role is that of a partner at Mori Arty & McNett, with a practice address at 111 Monument Circle, Suite 3700, in Indianapolis, Indiana. The firm name in his record appears to correspond to Woodard, Emhardt, Moriarty, McNett & Henry, an Indianapolis intellectual property firm whose address matches that office. The firm's lineage dates from 1952, when it operated under the name Lockwood, Woodard, Smith & Weikart. Jack V. Moriarty joined the firm in 1969 and John C. McNett followed in 1970, and the surnames in the firm's later name reflect those partners.
The firm practiced in intellectual property, including patent, trademark, and copyright matters, and one of its attorneys described it as Indiana's largest patent specialty law firm. Its Monument Circle address stands in a 48-story tower completed in 1990 as Bank One Tower, which later took the names Chase Tower and Salesforce Tower.
