In a Houston federal patent infringement case, Google, the defendant, won a take-nothing final judgment and $72,500 in attorney fees. The litigation focused on the company’s Google.docs application and pitted two of Houston’s biggest law firms against each other. Beck/Redden represented the Mountain View, Calif. –based search engine company; Susman Godfrey represented the plaintiff, Sudbury, Mass.-based SuperSpeed LLC.
In a Dec. 5 memorandum and opinion, U.S. District Judge Sim Lake of the Southern District of Texas in Houston granted in part Google’s motion for summary judgment, finding the plaintiff showed no infringement and no willful infringement on Google’s part. Lake denied Google’s arguments that SuperSpeed patents were invalid. On the same day, Lake issued the final take-nothing judgment, which triggered an order awarding attorney fees to Google.
