BSD Medical Corp. v. Labthermics Technologies, Inc., No. 2:91-cv-03622 (C.D. Cal. 1991) |
Representative Cases:
Terra Biologics, LLC v. Thompson Coburn LLP, Circuit Court, Missouri, 1722-CC11831 (2017)
Serves as legal expert in international patent law involving biotechnology for improving crop production in developing countries.
Homeland Housewares, LLC v. Whirlpool Corp., 865 F.3d 1372, 1375 (Fed. Cir. 2017), en banc rehearing denied Dec. 6, 2017 (No. 2016- 1511), cert. denied, No. 17-1246, 2018 WL 1211219 (U.S. June 4, 2018)
Holding, among other things, that a party cannot use an expert to contradict the plain evidence in the patent record. Experts who contradict the intrinsic evidence can be ignored. Hence, Whirlpool’s patent was invalidated. U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the case to revive the patent.
Akazawa v. Link New Technology Intern., Inc., 520 F.3d 1354 (Fed. Cir. 2008)
International patent case holding that Japanese law controls ownership of a United States patent when the owner of the patent is Japanese.
Slip Track Systems, Inc. v. Metal Lite, Inc., 304 F.3d 1256 (Fed. Cir. 2002)
Clarified rules for resolving patent ownership disputes when two inventors claim to have invented the same invention.
Slip Track Systems, Inc. v. Metal Lite, Inc., 159 F.3d 1337 (Fed. Cir. 1998)
Established that a jury trial in district court is the proper forum for resolving fights between inventors over who was the first to invent when both have obtained a patent for the same invention rather than a reexamination proceeding in the Patent Office.
Sengoku Works, Ltd. v. RMC International, Ltd., 96 F.3d 1217 (9th Cir. 1996)
Holding that between a foreign manufacturer and United States distributor, trademark rights are presumed to be owned by the foreign manufacturer.
Murray v. Cable National Broadcasting Co., 86 F.3d 858 (9th Cir. 1996)
Holding that the Ninth Circuit does not recognize reverse confusion claims in trademark cases.
T.A.B. Systems v. Pactel Teletrac, 77 F.3d 1372 (Fed. Cir. 1996)
Seminal decision establishing the Federal Circuit’s test for analogous use in trademark ownership disputes.
Ocean Garden, Inc. v. Marktrade Co., Inc., 953 F.2d 500, (9th Cir. 1991)
