Appealed and successfully reversed a decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board in In re Magnum Oil Tools International, Ltd., 829 F.3rd 1364 (Fed. Cir. 2016). In that case, the Federal Circuit held that the Board’s decision, holding Magnum’s patent (U.S. Patent No. 8,079,413) invalid as obvious, was in error because the petitioner failed to articulate a valid reason why the patent was obvious. In so doing, the Federal Circuit agreed with Magnum that the Board improperly shifted the burden of proof to the patentee and that the petitioner failed to articulate a motivation to combine the cited prior art.
Obtained summary judgment on behalf of three on-line travel companies in a patent infringement lawsuit in the District of Delaware in which the Plaintiff sought more than $20 million in damages arising out of the alleged infringement of a patent describing a “remote ordering system.” On appeal, the Federal Circuit affirmed the district court’s ruling.
Obtained a jury verdict of non-infringement with regard to the allegations against Hyundai’s “Build Your Own” software (Plaintiff’s damages model claimed entitlement to $595 million). On appeal, in Orion IP, LLC v. Hyundai Motor America, 605 F.3d 967 (Fed. Cir. 2010), the Federal Circuit invalidated the computer assisted parts sales method patent finding that the evidence was so “overwhelming” that “a reasonable jury would not have a legally sufficient evidentiary basis to find that the claims at issue were not anticipated.” The result was a complete victory for Hyundai.
Obtained a dispositive claim construction ruling on behalf of Denon Electronics (USA) LLC in a patent infringement lawsuit in the Eastern District of Texas alleging infringement by DVD players. The Federal Circuit affirmed the district court’s ruling.
Obtained a dispositive claim construction ruling in a design patent litigation matter between competitors in the Southern District of Texas involving alleged infringement of a design patent concerning downhole oil drilling tools.

Comarco Wireless Technologies v. Mobility Electronics, Inc. et al., (D. Ariz.). Counsel for Mobility Electronics in lawsuit involving alleged infringement of patents relating to power adapters. Following an evidentiary hearing, after which the court gave credence to Mobility’s invalidity defense, the court denied Comarco’s request for injunctive relief. The lawsuit settled shortly thereafter. The denial of the injunction allowed Mobility’s flagship product, a combination AC/DC power adapter, to stay on the market.
Wuhan Keda Marble Co., Ltd. v. Tenax S.p.A., Appeal No. 18-1900 (Fed. Cir. 2019). Defended an appeal from the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board blocking a trademark application. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit summarily affirmed the Board’s findings, granting the client victory.

Co-counsel for Plaintiffs in a lawsuit in which Luv n’ care, which sells baby products under its Nuby brand, sued Royal King Infant Products, Ltd. (“Royal King”), alleging that the Thailand-based manufacturer violated a previous settlement agreement between the two parties by underreporting sales, underpaying royalties, and continuing to make and sell products that were confusingly similar to Luv n’ care’s designs. At the conclusion of a three-day trial, an eight-person jury unanimously found in favor of Luv n’ care and awarded $10 million in damages against Royal King. Following a later bench trial concerning Royal King’s affirmative defenses and counterclaims, Judge Gilstrap entered judgment in Luv n’ care’s favor.
