Congrats to Natalie Bennett, Jason White, Jason Gettleman, Nicholas Restauri, and the entire trial team from Morgan Lewis, LLP as well as Travis Underwood from Gillam & Smith, LLP on their defense verdict in Marshall, TX today on behalf of LG. These professionals made it easy for the jury to determine there was no infringement and that patents were invalid. And the jury did not care that LG was from Korea nor that LG’s biggest competitor had taken a license to these patents. It was a pleasure to play a role in their success story.
Congrats to Kurt Spengler, Katelin King, and the entire trial team at Wicker Smith, LLP on their defense jury verdict in Kissimmee, FL on behalf of national homebuilder. This was a negligence case involving a tragic loss, no doubt, but the jury placed the blame in the right places, assigning a minimal amount to Lennar and awarding only $50k in damages to the Plaintiff, while the ask was tens of millions. It was a pleasure to play a role in this success story, and kudos to the courageous jury who gave their time and attention to the matter.
Congrats to Jason Dennis, Jamie Drillette, Stephanie Hunt, and the entire trial team from Lynn Pinker Hurst & Schwegmann, LLP for their $8M jury verdict for Choice Exploration in Federal Court in Beaumont, TX. I have been working with Jason and this firm for almost 20 years and they just keep getting better in the courtroom. This was a hotly-contested oil & gas insurance dispute, and these fine professionals made it easy for the jury to get it right. It was a privilege to play a role in this success story. And as always, kudos to the jury and the court staff for keeping the wheels of justice moving.
Congrats to Bill Gaede, Sarah Columbia, Bhanu Sadasivan, Mandy Kim, and the entire trial team from McDermott, Will & Emery, LLP as well as Morris Nichols on their $19M jury verdict in Delaware on behalf of Natera. Jury trials involving life science patents are always challenging, but these professionals worked tirelessly to make sure the jury got this one right, finding that the patents at issue were both infringed and valid. It was a privilege and a pleasure to play a role in their huge success. As always, thanks to the jury and the Court for their time and service.
