Experience
Finnegan successfully represented the patentee in a patent infringement lawsuit involving multiple patents in federal district court, obtaining a jury verdict that each of the patents was infringed and that none of them was invalid. After the jury trial, the defendant filed a series of reexamination requests for each of the patents, resulting in multiple reexamination proceedings (both ex parte and inter partes). In connection with these reexamination proceedings, Finnegan worked with prosecution counsel to devise a reexamination strategy, to draft responses to office actions and supporting expert declarations, and to prepare prosecution counsel for PTO interviews (including preparation of experts for the interviews). As a result of Finnegan’s efforts, the PTO has agreed to issue reexamination certificates, with minor amendments, for several of the patents, and we expect the same result for the remaining patents. In the interim, Finnegan’s client settled the infringement lawsuit, receiving substantial compensation based on our victory in federal court.
