Representative Cases/Deals

  • Represented a Utah-based company threatened with patent infringement in a declaratory-judgment suit. We successfully invalidated four of the patents that were being used to threaten our client on summary judgment. The case was appealed to the Federal Circuit where we won an affirmation of the summary judgment.
  • Successfully moved to dismiss a patent infringement claim based on lack of personal jurisdiction, where defendants merely drop-shipped accused products to the forum state.
  • Represented a Utah-based company accused of trademark infringement and unfair practices. We filed a petition to cancel the mark that was being used to threaten our client and won the petition for cancellation on summary judgment before the Trademark Trial and Appeals Board.
