Lead counsel for BMW in a 13-year non practicing entity (NPE) campaign against 50+ automakers over GPS/navigation patents. Finnegan coordinated district court, Section 337 ITC, and six U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) reexaminations that reduced the portfolio to two surviving claims. The Eastern District of Michigan granted summary judgment of non-infringement, ending the campaign with no infringement finding against BMW.
