Our runners up include Morgan Chu of Irell & Manella. He led a team in convincing a jury in the Central District of California to award Sloan Kettering Institute for Cancer Research and Juno Therapeutics, Inc. $752 million in a patent infringement suit against Kite Pharma Inc. 

The award included $585 million as an upfront payment and a 27.6% running royalty for Kite’s infringement of CAR T-cell therapy, a ground-breaking cancer treatment. (See my colleague Scott Graham’s Q&A with Chu about the case here.)
