IP Litigation

We represent both plaintiffs and defendants in patent infringement, patent interference and patent-related antitrust suits; PTAB inter partes reviews and post-grant reviews; trademark and trade dress infringement suits; trademark opposition and cancellation proceedings; copyright infringement suits; trade secret claims; federal and state unfair competition controversies; and false advertising and other Lanham Act claims. Our recent experience includes:

• representing an international electronics manufacturer in its appeal of an ITC exclusion order, which the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed after concluding that the client’s products did not infringe the asserted patents
• winning a preliminary injunction on behalf of an international electronics manufacturer, requiring the complainant to terminate an ITC investigation based on a federal court exclusive venue provision in a license agreement
• obtaining a favorable resolution for a leading South Korean display technology company in a multi-jurisdictional patent infringement dispute against Taiwanese competitors. This concerned fundamental LCD display technology and discovery in South Korea, Taiwan, China, Japan and the Netherlands
• defeating a USPTO inter partes review brought against a patent owned by a global industrial equipment supplier. This unusual success for a patent owner also was affirmed on appeal
• conducting USPTO reexamination and non-infringement analysis of a patent for electronic FT providers
• defeating TRO and dismissed copyright license claim brought by a software consultant after the client terminated the consulting agreement
