Andrew Berdon, Anastasia Fernands and Robert Wilson of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan land runners-up honors this week for scoring a key win for Sarepta Therapeutics Inc. which faced potential damages of more than $900 million in a patent challenge to its gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a fatal disease that prevents the production of a protein needed to develop key muscles. U.S. District Judge Richard Andrews in Delaware last week granted summary judgment to Sarepta finding that key claims of a RegenxBio Inc. patent were directed toward patent-ineligible subject matter. Berdon, Fernands and Wilson argued the summary judgment motions for Sarepta, with additional lawyers from Quinn, Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner and Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell on the briefs.
Amy Lally, the global co-leader of the consumer class actions practice at Sidley Austin, had a pair of big wins for clients in California federal courts. She and partner Ian Ross led a team representing The Container Store Inc. in a Video Privacy Protection Act case where the company was accused of reporting views of videos on its webpage to TikTok. U.S. District Judge Hernán Vera in Los Angeles last week found that plaintiffs failed to show that The Container Store met the VPPA definition of a “video tape service provider” or that that plaintiff was a “purchaser” of video services or a “consumer” under the federal video privacy law. The Sidley team on that matter also included managing associate Sophie Green.
