- Graceway Pharmaceuticals, LLC and 3M Innovative Properties Co. v. Nycomed US, Inc.: Currently represent Graceway and 3M in a patent infringement action concerning 7 patents relating to pharmaceutical creams and methods of treatment. Trial is expected in mid-2012.
- Roche Diagnostics Operations Inc. and Corange Int’l. Ltd. v. Nova Biomedical Corp., et al.: Successfully represented Nova in a patent infringement case involving two patents relating to blood glucose test strips asserted by Roche Diagnostics. After a successful Markman hearing in Nova’s favor, the court ruled on summary judgment that Nova does not infringe any claim of either patent.
- Merit Industries, Inc. v. JVL Corporation: Successfully litigated a five-year case in which Merit alleged JVL’s entire product line infringed three Merit patents. A federal jury found that none of JVL’s current products infringed any Merit patent, invalidated many of the asserted claims and denied Merit’s demand for lost profits, awarding instead only a token sum (less than seven percent of what was sought) for reasonable royalties for infringement by a subset of JVL’s past products.
- Analog Devices, Inc. v. Linear Technology Corporation; Represented Linear Technology in a patent infringement action relating to various patents on analog integrated circuitry. Along with denying that it had infringed any of Analog’s three asserted patents, our client counterclaimed for patent infringement based on eight of Linear’s U.S. patents. We settled the matter favorably for our client.
- VLT, Inc. v. Lucent Technologies, Inc.: Represented Lucent in a patent infringement action concerning a patent related to voltage regulator circuits. We settled the matter favorably for our client.
