The patent owner had previously received over $50 million in damage awards and settlements from other accused infringers. He has obtained an "exceptional" case finding after trying a patent case to verdict, obtaining attorneys' fees and punitive damages affirmed on appeal. He has also successfully protected a multi-million dollar unfair competition damage award to against post-trial attacks where the award exceeded the amount requested from the jury and the amount stated in expert reports. And, he secured a multi-million dollar payment from a patent owner to a client accused of infringement to settle claims of tortious interference, unfair competition, and inequitable conduct.
