Law firms vying to represent Silicon Valley darlings in their intellectual property matters like to be seen as totally tech savvy. But a select few have lawyers who can offer “I'm a gamer myself” when talking about the latest courtroom victory for a electronic games client.
Fenwick & West litigation partner Jennifer Lloyd Kelly developed an expertise in the gaming industry, and a speaking gig at a conference led to a cold call from a client dealing with a copycat.
King.com Ltd., maker of Candy Crush Saga, wanted to do something about Six Waves Inc., which had released two games similar to Farm Heroes Saga and Pet Rescue Saga, two of King's highest grossing offerings. Kelly saw a strong case and filed suit. After securing key rulings, the case settled on terms that Fenwick calls a resounding victory. The client secured a permanent injunction in addition to cash, including attorney fees.
