First up is a team at Cooley led by Adam Gershenson that got a ruling from the Federal Circuit this week staying an injunction against diabetes patch pump maker EOFlow in a trade secrets and patent case brought by Insulet—an injunction that had scuttled Metronic’s planned $738 million acquisition of EOFlow. On Tuesday, just a day after oral argument, the court issued a per curiam order noting that it will issue a forthcoming opinion finding “Insulet has not met its burden to show that it should be granted the extraordinary relief of a preliminary injunction.” The Cooley team on the matter also includes partners Betsy Flanagan, Lowell Mead, Reuben Chen, Michael Sheetz and Sale Kwon, special counsel Patrick Hayden, and associates Kimberley Scimeca, John Wray, Dustin Knight, Zachary Sisko, Matthew Oliver, Samantha Strauss, Kayla Blaker, HanByul Chang, Isabel Catanzaro, Alex Kasner, Jordan Landers and Robert Minn.
A patent trial team at Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel brought home a $23.4 million verdict last week for client Acceleration Bay against videogame maker Activision Blizzard after a one-week trial in Delaware federal court. Jurors found that Activision infringed two patents covering communication technology used in multiplayer games. Jurors found that Activision owed $18 million for infringement in World of Warcraft and $5.4 million for Call of Duty. The Kramer Levin trial team included Paul Andre, Lisa Kobialka, James Hannah, Aaron Frankel, Christina Finn, Marcus Colucci, Cristina Martinez, Aakash Jariwala, and Missy Brenner, as well as paralegals Gladys Tong and Gustavo Casillas.
