Finnegan partner Jerry Ivey was recognized by AmLaw Litigation Daily for successfully defending FedEx in a $100 million patent infringement suit brought by Intellectual Ventures (IV) in the Eastern District of Texas. IV filed suit against FedEx in 2016, claiming its patents were issued before FedEx started using the technology. However, the jury found that FedEx did not infringe IV’s four shipping and tracking patents, and that three of the patents were invalid. IV argued that the patents related to shipping and tracking, but FedEx argued they did not.
