Victory in a closely watched financial services business method patent case that challenged the way U.S. Treasuries are bought and sold

eSpeed, Inc.

ICAP, OMX

eSpeed and Cantor Fitzgerald claimed that Finnegan clients ICAP, the world’s largest electronic interdealer broker, and OMX, a Swedish technology company, infringed a patent related to the electronic trading of U.S. Treasury securities. When eSpeed appealed from a finding that its patent was invalid and unenforceable, we secured a favorable judgment for our clients, with the Federal Circuit holding eSpeed’s patent unenforceable for inequitable conduct.
