Utility Patent Litigation

  Back to top

The firm has extensive experience litigating offensive and defensive utility patent infringement matters in a diverse range of technologies. We have successfully litigated patent infringement matters against the largest, most prestigious law firms representing some of the world’s largest companies. Often, we have been able to resolve utility patent matters on an expediated basis by identifying key strategies to pursue at the onset of the case and deploying our resources to cost-effectively implement those strategies. The firm has the skill and resources needed to litigate any utility patent infringement matter, regardless of the size or the adversary, and is proud to have been retained for, and prevailed in, numerous patent infringement offensive and defensive litigation matters since its founding, including resolving matters through early dispositive motions, and, when necessary, prevailing at trial. For example, we were:

  • Trial counsel where it obtained a complete defense verdict in a $500 million, multi-patent infringement defense;
  • Trial counsel where it obtained a $16 million jury award in three-week patent infringement trial;
  • Trial counsel where it obtained a permanent injunction and $7.3 million jury award in an offensive matter protecting a $100-million-dollar-a-year product line;
  • Trial counsel for a mid-sized software company in a multi-patent offensive matter resulting in an eight-figure jury verdict after a three-week jury trial;
  • Lead counsel for a small, disruptive media streaming company achieving summary judgment against a large, multi-national company in two related multi-patent, defensive matters;
  • Lead counsel in a defensive patent infringement matter for an industrial equipment supplier convincing the court to deviate from local practice and consider an early motion for summary judgment that was successful on three separate, independent grounds and attorneys’ fees were recovered;
  • Lead counsel for an industry leading supplier of a popular self-balancing vehicle in several defensive patent infringement matters; and
  • Lead counsel in numerous other offensive and defensive patent infringement matters that have been successfully resolved, including matters involving chief competitors, market leaders pursuing claims against their smaller rivals, and non-practicing entities.
