Talk:Irell & Manella

message: Hello - I'd like to request some additions to this page (but have a conflict of interest). Specifically, I'd like to add notable cases, notable lawyers and alumni. I pasted the proposed changes below for review. I hope I included the cites correctly, but I have a feeling I did not. I do know how to add the cites on the main page. If I'm proposing edits incorrectly, please let me know. I'm trying to learn how to navigate the talk pages, but I don't really know what I'm doing yet. I welcome any and all advice. I also propose moving the Labrador case under the notable cases section. Thank you for your help.  
PROPOSED EDITS
=== Notable Cases ===
•	Irell was originally founded as a tax boutique, representing clients including Lucille Ball, Orson Welles and Kirk Douglas. 
•	Represented Candle Corp. against Boole & Babbage in the first trial involving a patent on computer software.  
•	Secured $1.7 billion in judgments and settlements for TiVo in patent infringement litigation related to its digital video recorder technology.  
•	Represented City of Hope in a patent licensing dispute with Genentech related to the world’s first biotechnology drug.  City of Hope subsequently named its graduate school the Irell & Manella Graduate School of Biological Sciences.
•	Secured a $2.175 billion jury award for VLSI Technology LLC in an infringement trial against Intel related to microprocessor technology. The award was one of the largest patent infringement verdicts in U.S. history.  
•	Together with Public Counsel, Irell filed a pro bono first-of-its-kind federal class action against the Compton School District on behalf of students who are victims of trauma (Peter P. v. Compton Unified School District). The suit sought to compel the district to incorporate proven practices that address the barriers to learning caused by trauma, in the same way public schools have adapted to help students who experience physical or other barriers to learning. Irell and Public Counsel defeated Compton’s motion to dismiss by convincing the district court that trauma should be a recognized disability under federal anti-discrimination statutes. After overcoming the initial skepticism of the school district and community leaders, the parties collaborated to develop Compton Unified School District’s Wellness Initiative, a multi-pronged program designed to address the academic, social emotional, attendance and behavioral needs of students.  
•	Represented PanOptis in a suit against Apple Inc. involving patents essential to LTE technology, in the first patent jury trial of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
•	In 2019, a jury awarded Irell clients Sloan Kettering Institute for Cancer Research and Juno Therapeutics $752 million for infringement of a cancer immunotherapy patent and a judge enhanced the award to $1.2 billion the next year.   
•	Obtained a 2019 unanimous U.S. Supreme Court decision in Peter v. NantKwest, Inc. in a case that reversed a United States Patent and Trademark Office policy. 
•	Obtained more than $300 million in jury awards for USAA in patent suits against Wells Fargo involving mobile remote deposit technology.  
•	Served as counsel for Uber in class action over Uber’s “Safe Rides” fee and a securities fraud class action.  
•	Served as lead defense counsel for Angelo Mozilo, the former CEO and chairman of national mortgage giant Countrywide Financial, in dozens of lawsuits and government proceedings across the country stemming from the 2008 financial crisis.

Natural Resources Defense Council, 555 U.S. 7 (2008) and National Resources Defense Council, Inc. v. Winter, et al., 543 F.3d 1152 (9th Cir. 2008), concerning the U.S. Navy's ability to use sonar during drills given the possibility of a harmful effect on marine mammals such as whales.  
•	Secured $120 million jury verdict for Stac Electronics, a small software company, against Microsoft in 1994 in the first patent infringement suit against Microsoft ever to reach a trial. 
•	Represented Dastar Corp. in the U.S. Supreme Court in a Lanham Act case (Dastar Corp. v. Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp.), defeating Fox's claim that Dastar could not use its own name in promoting its videos.

replies: text: Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate list of "stuff", so for the cases you are proposing to include, independent reliable sources that have written about the firm's involvement are needed to support they warrant inclusion.  If sources writing about the firm do not exist then the content cannot be included.  Sources are also required for notable members of the firm.  I suggest checking those articles to see if sources already exist there and using those.  I am declining this request but you are welcome to submit another one following the above guidance.
