Experience

  • VLSI Technology v. Intel (W.D. Tex.). Obtained a $2.3 billion judgment for VLSI in this litigation involving two patents on microprocessor architecture technology used to reduce power consumption and improve performance in nearly a billion products.
  • VLSI Technology v. Intel (W.D. Tex.). Secured a $948 million jury verdict, plus running royalties, for VLSI in this suit regarding patented innovations used to provide improved performance and scalability in server microprocessors. Jordan took the direct examination of an important fact witness at trial.

  • Personalis Inc. v. Foresight Diagnostics Inc. (D. Colo., PTAB). Defended Foresight Diagnostics, an early-stage precision medicine company, in multiple patent litigations brought by Personalis. Jordan drafted motions to stay pending IPRs, which were granted pre-institution. Foresight eventually obtained favorable institution decisions on all petitions, and the case settled favorably for Foresight after the PTAB issued its first set of final written decisions, which found in Foresight’s favor on all grounds and invalidated every challenged claim.

  • Roche Molecular Systems, Inc. v. Foresight Diagnostics Inc. et al (N.D. Cal.). Defended Foresight Diagnostics, and founders Drs. Diehn, Alizadeh and Kurtz, in trade secret litigation brought by Roche. In early discovery motion practice, Foresight successfully forced Roche to dramatically narrow its alleged trade secrets, which in turn led to the Court granting Foresight’s request to engage in early summary judgment briefing. The case settled favorably for Foresight before summary judgment briefing was completed.

  • PopSockets LLC v. Fab Cellular LLC et al. (N.D. Ga., TTAB). Secured victory for PopSockets in a trademark infringement lawsuit in the Northern District of Georgia and two opposition actions before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. PopSockets’ district court suit pursued claims against Fab Cellular LLC and other defendants for marketing and selling confusingly similar mobile phone grips under the ‘Fab Pops’ mark. In 2024, the Northern District of Georgia issued judgment of liability in favor of PopSockets and against Fab Cellular LLC, Fab One Enterprises LLC, and Louis Fabec.
