Practice
Jim Badke is a partner in Ropes & Gray's Intellectual Property Litigation Group. His patent litigation practice is focused primarily in the life sciences, e.g., medical devices, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals under the Hatch–Waxman Act.
Professional Experience
Jim's courtroom experience as lead trial counsel includes numerous jury and bench trials. For example, Jim recently led a successful defense in a case brought by Medtronic MiniMed Inc. against Nova Biomedical Corporation in which Medtronic asserted misappropriation of trade secrets and three other causes of action. Nova prevailed on all causes of action after a three-week jury trial in Los Angeles. In another recent case, Abbott Laboratories brought suit against firm clients Becton, Dickinson and Company and Nova Biomedical Corporation alleging infringement of four U.S. patents relating to blood glucose sensors. Two of the four patents were disposed of on summary judgment (both declared not infringed and one invalid), the third patent was declared both invalid and unenforceable due to inequitable conduct after a six day bench trial, and the fourth patent was invalidated on two separate grounds after a three-week jury trial. The Court also found the case to be exceptional and awarded our clients their attorneys' fees.
