Experienced trial counsel are the linchpin in any patent case and, at Jones Day, patent litigation represents the largest activity of our IP practice with many seasoned, first-chair trial lawyers experienced in all aspects of this complex and multidimensional area of the law.
Consistently ranked at the top of all surveys regarding the number of patent cases brought and defended annually, we handle all aspects of patent litigation, including related arbitration/alternative dispute resolution proceedings and appeals to the Federal Circuit. In particular, we represent many of the largest computer, semiconductor, telephony, and internet companies in the world. And with nearly 20 years of experience and well over 50 Hatch-Waxman cases for "Big Pharma", we are at the forefront of complex patent litigation disputes faced by today’s largest pharmaceutical companies. The Firm also is on the cutting edge in defending against a new wave of patent litigation – false marking.
False marking plaintiffs are filing lawsuits to enforce the provisions of Section 292 of the Patent Code in the hope of gaining one half of any recovery or a settlement windfall. Over 120 cases have been filed since the start of 2010 alone. In Forest Group, Inc. v. Bon Tool Co., the Federal Circuit affirmed the lower court's finding of liability and pronounced, for the first time, that the fine for "every such offense" under Section 292 should be measured on a per-article basis. We expect the dramatic increase in these suits since the Bon Tool decision to continue, at least in the short term.
In early 2008, Jones Day was retained to defend against a false marking claim brought by plaintiff Matthew Pequignot in the Eastern District of Texas, and we have since developed unmatched experience combating the various false marking theories presented by plaintiffs. The Firm has been retained as defense counsel in a substantial number of additional false marking cases filed by numerous plaintiffs including Thomas Simonian, San Francisco Technology, Inc., Patent Compliance Group, Promote Innovation, and O&G SearchQuest.
Finally, and probably of greatest significance to our clients, we take great pride in staffing cases in an efficient and economical manner with strict case management to ensure that agreed upon budgets are met.
