Representative Matters
- Represented Verizon Communications Inc. in negotiating and executing the various licensing and other agreements necessary for it to be able to spin off its local exchange and related business assets in 14 states to Frontier Communications Corp.
- Represented Lockheed Martin Corp. in opposing an effort by Zoltek Corp. to substitute it as a defendant in a patent-infringement action Zoltek had originally brought against the United States stemming from the U.S.'s alleged use of Zoltek's patent in the manufacture of the F-22 fighter plane. Obtained a decision from the U.S. Court of Appeal for the Federal Circuit allowing it to seek an interlocutory appeal of a Court of Federal Claim's decision that Lockheed was not protected by government-contractor immunity pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1498.
- Obtained a summary judgment ruling in favor of a major manufacturer of building materials on its false advertising claims against an entity that billed itself as providing unbiased information about roofing products sold in Washington state. A federal court determined that the entity's statements about the client's roofing shingles were false and misleading in violation of the Lanham Act and the Washington Consumer Protection Act and permanently enjoined it from making such statements in the future.
- Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp. v. Sandoz, Inc., et al., Case No. 09-033 (JJF) (D Del.). Patent infringement action regarding Sandoz's ANDA to make a generic version of Medicis's acne product Solodyn®, the active ingredient of which is minocycline hydrochloride.
