What I Used to Do for a Living

This reported opinion in a patent infringement case was released not long ago. Notice that I’m listed as lead counsel for the winning side! I was very involved in this case when I was still at my law firm four or five years ago. My former partners continued to litigate the case after I left, leading to this judgment declaring the patent we were challenging invalid. I guess my name was still on some of the court filings. I can’t take credit for all the arguments that were made after I left, but the key admission by the inventor about the prior art was testimony I elicited at his deposition and on cross-examination at a previous court hearing. Cool!
