We’re proud to be named the “IP Litigation Department of the Year” at New York Law Journal’s 2024 New York Legal Awards. 🎉 Our IP team was honored for its most significant achievements over the last two years in noteworthy cases for marquee clients across diverse industries, in venues where IP matters are most often litigated. These wins include a precedential jury trial victory for a video game company in a case related to the copyrightability of tattoos; securing market exclusivity of a blockbuster cancer drug for a major pharmaceutical company in a series of 14 related district court cases; and a victory at the International Trade Commission for a software giant related to the importation of mobile phones into the United States. Since May 2022, our New York IP attorneys have secured tens of millions of dollars in damages and other awards for clients, while helping defendants avoid outright or mitigate potentially billions in damages claims and threatened injunctive relief.
