Representative Highlights
- Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Inc. v. Chi-Mei Optoelectronics, Inc. et al. Served as lead counsel for defendant Chi-Mei Optoelectronics and its customers in patent infringement litigation involving LCD design and manufacturing technology. The matter was favorably settled on the eve of trial after summary judgment rulings of invalidity and noninfringement.
- Synopsys, Inc. v. Ricoh Company Ltd. Acted as lead defense counsel for Synopsys and its customers in patent infringement litigation involving EDA software. This matter was stayed in late 2006 as a result of a re-examination proceeding in which, in a first office action, the Patent Office rejected all of the claims of the patent-in-suit as invalid on multiple grounds.
- MedImmune, Inc. v. Centocor, Inc., et al. Acted as lead counsel for patent owners Stanford and Columbia Universities in a patent declaratory judgment action involving a method of manufacturing monoclonal antibodies.
