Representative Matters

Tessera v. Micron, Infineon and Qimonda:  a patent and antitrust matter involving group boycott and price fixing claims in the DRAM market, as well as patent infringement claims concerning semiconductor packaging technology.  The suit was resolved by a settlement entitling the firm's client to $80 million and significant future royalties. 

Intergraph Corporation v. Hewlett-Packard, Inc.: a patent lawsuit involving HP’s microprocessor technology and antitrust counterclaims by HP asserting that Intergraph engaged in illegal tying arrangements in the market for microprocessors and microprocessor technologies. 

KinderUSA v. The Washington Institute of Near East Policy, Matthew Levitt, and Yale University Press:  a lawsuit involving libel claims based on passages in a book discussing Hamas and terrorist financing, which implicated free speech and scholarship involving Middle East policy.  The suit was ultimately dropped without the firm's clients paying monetary compensation or agreeing to alter the accused text.
