We manage all phases of patent litigation, beginning with carefully orchestrated discovery, resulting in thorough pre-litigation infringement and validity investigations. Our firm has successfully represented hundreds of plaintiffs and defendants in jury and bench trials, as well as in arbitrations before such forums as the International Trade Commission. Many of our cases have resulted in landmark decisions, such as the landmark litigation involving Amgen v. Chugai Pharmaceuticals and the internationally-cited Factor VIII litigation on behalf of The Scripps Research Institute and Rhone-Poulenc Rorer that led to a post-trial settlement in excess of $150 million.
We have successfully represented industry leaders in high-stakes patent infringement litigation, including Kodak, Procter & Gamble, IBM, Medinol, W. L. Gore, Lucent Technologies and Richardson-Vicks. Our years and depth of experience give us a unique perspective on the variables in any litigation and the ability to recommend the choices most favorable to our clients. We work closely with clients to determine which forum offers the best environment for a case and what district has a docket that will come closest to meeting our timing needs. We review opportunities based on discovery to develop trial strategies, choose expert witnesses, anticipate the arguments of opposing counsel and, not least of all, effectively manage litigation costs.
